    Does anyone have a parts diagrams for the adjusting hardware on a 1971 cable clutch? This is the long style cable (~58" cable) with no bell crank.

    I'm trying to figure out what hardware was used on the threaded end for adjusting.

    Thanks!

    Thanks. That's exactly what I was looking for. It looks like that adjuster won't work for me. though.

    Mine is a 72 frame with a 70 body, using 70 through the floor pedals. To make the clutch work it runs the 71 cable. The threaded end of the cable passes directly through the throw-out arm, and is adjusted by a nut that hits the face of the arm.

    I was hoping to find some kind of conical or spherical-nosed adjuster nut that would allow some flex or movement of the cable in the throw-out arm. Basically something shaped like a lug nut.

    The piece that twin2 posted above is the stock adjuster for the 70-71 cable operated clutch. Sounds like you're going to have to improvise....

    I do not have that bracket. My bracket is a homebrew welded on to the transmission crossmember. PO set it up. So it ends up being significantly closer to the throwout arm.


    Thanks Tim, I dont even need the nut itself to be threaded, I can always put the current nuts behind it.
