I posted a link to one place up above, but you can probably get it from summit racing, I got mine from "anglo american roadracing" but I think they are out of business.

I used Earl's Flame Guard, I forget if it was 1" or 1 1/4", I ran both the Speedo & clutch thru it, the Speedo, I used a length of bailing wire thru the shield, then pulled the speedo cable end right thru.

Also, seen done by some one else, But they I believe put a slot, I just drilled a hole about 1" down & 1/4" to the left of the original hole of the clutch pulley bracket, which angels the clutch cable over the header.

Also, as long as the Flame guard doesn't toch the Header it will not burn

Two last things, 2 hangers, one bolted to the tranny side cover above the clutch fork, and the other an L bracket sheetmetal screwed to the side of the case where heater box tin usta screw to the case, they keep the shield and cables from header..

I'm resurrecting this thread...but can someone out there show me what the clutch cable plate looks like when they drilled it to make it rotate to clear the headers?

I think i've melted 2 clutch cables trying to get this right. I have the summit heat shield on there, but i didnt rotate the pulley bracket because i didnt know where to drill it.

I also have the cables zip tied to the case, but i'm thinking this is a far from optimal solution. any input would be greatly apprecieated!

Sorry I didn't get any pics.

But all I did was to use the stud as a scribe, I left the nut on the back stud, tightened a little, then just moved the plate up and down allowing the stud to scribe a mark on the back, to where the cable would clear the exh tubes, marked it then drilled a hole. I then used a hammer to flatten the area around the freshly drilled hole, so the spring washer and nut would have a flat area to tighten against.

Ahhhh-so

that's how that works for tightening the nut against something flat.

thanks!

I was wondering how this all worked out?
Because I’m about to do the same thing, with the same headers and cables.
Here are my choices so far:

works great! ended up running the clutch cable underneath the header, havent caught it on anything (yet)

the only issue i guess is to not let it idle too much in one spot, the heat from the pipe may start to warp the console cover on a sideshifter a bit. not much, but it did do it to me

also, dont wrap the thing. it will destroy itself FAST if you do that.

I gave them to Rand, on this board. I have the left side head-pipe and the other side head-pipe went to france to johannes rousell.

I believe "flung to the 4 cornerns of the earth" describes it (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif)
