So, I tried researching threads on the Kerry Hunter Header system to figure this out for myself, but no such luck. I just recently installed a set of Kerry Hunter's and have toasted one clutch cable and am possibly on the verge of doing it again to another one. The first one I ruined was from improper routing which caused an unnecessary kink where the cable comes out to go around the plastic wheel in the rearward area of the transmission. I ran the new cable what I thought was the right way, but it still seems like something is wrong because I'm melting my outer lining on my cable. I wrapped the headers in heat wrap to try and allow the cable to run through cylinders 4 and 3's header. It seemed like it was working but I just took a look at it yesterday and it definitely appears to be slightly melting the outer coating on the cable. I was told that wrapping the cable itself in heat wrap is worse because it traps the heat inside and melts the cable even faster. So... What do I do? There appears to be a kink in cylinder 4's header that seems like it would only be there to allow the clutch cable to run through, but I'm not entirely sure. The new cable I bought is a heavier duty cable that allows a bit more flexing than my previous one so it MIGHT be possible to run it under the headers, but that was how I ran it the first time and it shredded the not-so-heavy-duty previous cable. Any advice would be great as I would like to avoid replacing this cable again, if possible. Please let me know (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thumb3d.gif) Thanks
