whelp, I found some 12ga (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) galvanized steel strip at lowe's and got a grade 8 bolt and some nuts and went to town.
I had to pull really hard to get the heat sleeve un-melted from the clutch cable and I have to run the clutch cable underneath the engine mount bar, but i duplicated what racer chris did and it works beautifully! If i'd run the clutch thru the mount bar, it would still be all on the header. As a side note, i also fixed my timing and synched my carbs tonight too. talk about getting a lot of stuff done! eurorace...FTW! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/thisthreadisworthlesswithoutpics.gif) Cause I am probably going to have to do the same thing, now that I have been scared off the header wrap. How long is the piece of metal used to offset the cable pully? Zach |

The ones I supply with my headers have the bolt holes 7/8" apart.
