some six conversion issues... Options

[meursault]

So I'm test-fitting my engine and transmission in the car right now, and I'm having some problems. Perhaps someone can offer some advice.

Engine is a 2.7 liter, transmission is a 901 pull clutch, mount (for now) is a Patrick Motorsport piece.

Issue #1: supposedly the clutch cable to use is a 72-74 911 unit. The sheath is a little short, though, and making a bracket isn't necessarily easy because part of the crankcase prevents me from having a straight shot. I have an idea of how to do this, but I'm wondering if anyone's done this before. Here's a pic:

Meursault,

I'm very interested in trying this clutch assembly with my 3.2.
If I find a 70/71 trans all I need is the 70/71 throw out bearing and a 3.2 disk and pressure plate?
I looked in all my catalogs and they show a diferent disk and pressure plate for the 70/71 2.2 motor vs. the 72-86 911 engines.
What disk and pressure plate did you use with your 2.7?
Do you have the 911 part numbers?
When you put your trans on do you have to do anything special to get the throw out bearing to connect to the pressure plate?
The 70/71 trans conversion would be a lot less money than the 915 trans with the velios kit.
A 915 trans goes for $1500.00 plus the velios kit $1500.00 plus the shifter roughly $600.00.
All the 3.2 conversions I see out there with the 901 are using the KEP conversion.
The KEP conversion works great and the people and support at KEP are second to none.
But I still have problems with my clutch.
It feels like the clutch cable is stretching or the tube is broken.
I checked the clutch tube its been reinforced in three spots.
It's not going anywhere.
I replaced the weltmeister clutch cable with a factory six cable and that made a significant improvement.
I think my problem is either a bad KEP pressure plate which I doubt or the local machine shop machined my flywheel to thin and now the throw out bearing has to travel furthur to release the clutch.
I adjusted the pedal and stops for maximum throw.
I also did the KEP recommendations which is take out the washer behind the pivot ball and the modification of the throw out bearing fork tube.
I'm having to much fun driving my car to take it apart any time soon.
Some times I have to double clutch and I also have to make sure my seat is close enough to put the clutch pedal to the floor but otherwise its tolerable.

thanks for your help and good luck with your conversion!!!
