280i Clutch Cable
Discussion
I need to detach this from the clutch pedal so I can fit a new bulkhead grommet. It's look like all I need to do is unbolt the clamp holding the end of the cable (see arrow) and release it.
It doesn't seem to be under tension. Is it that simple? (Well, apart from having to take the seat out to get access
)

.... I always thought it could be modified to a bracket that holds the outer and the inner would need to be attached to the top of the pedal.
In due course it will be modified to hydraulic. Lots to do before I get around to that little job though.Edited by v8s4me on Saturday 21st January 21:31

Only on a TVR could undoing one small nut be so difficult and back-breaking!With the cable out of the way it made sense to test how the m/cyl I picked up cheap during the summer might fit...
The push-rod doesn't line up with the pedal but if I fit a rose joint on the end of the rod then it should be simple enough to connect the rod to the pedal lever. Just need to work out what slave cylinder to use now.
Unfortunately the idea of fitting a nice close fitting grommet went out the window the first time I pressed the clutch because of course with the outer cable doing the moving, it just pulled the grommet out with the cable. Still, it's better than it was and should keep a lot more water out now.

I'm completely confused here. This is the clutch lever on the bell-housing....
So obviously the inner cable is pulling the lever. This is the outer cable in the adjuster...
As you can see the adjuster is screwed into a cast bracket on the side of the bell-housing which means its position is fixed relative to the clutch lever. But is it is the outer cable which is being pushed by the clutch pedal, how does it all work then?
Or am I just being stupid?
