Right after I bought my latest '73 914, I went to adjust the clutch and I noticed the cable was a bit frayed. I ordered the stuff from Pelican, it's not here and I tempted fate. Well, it broke on the way home today from cars 'n coffee and it made for an interesting and frustrating afternoon. Of course, all the cable end parts are gone too, and I couldn't find anything in the street. More to order from Pelican.
Moral of the story: inspect your clutch cable routinely, and if it is AT ALL coming apart, it's GOING to break. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)  |
