Clutch cable length

    Ok, I'm kinda new to these Jeeps, I have a stock '64 CJ5 and I am updating it to a '64 with a 225 in it. I am wondering, the stock clutch bellcrank used for the 134/T90 is different, and I am using the clutch bellcrank for my 225/T86 setup but the cable from the 134 is too short. I ordered a cable from Krage and I got a really long shielded one (later version for 225 I guess) that will not work for my set up. What's the length of the cable I need and where do I get it? Or do I tear out the whole thing and and start over with a hydraulic/ chain/ or homemade.
    Thanks!

    i'd go with the chain linkage from advance adapters if you don't want to get too involved with the set-up its cheap and easy to install.

    134= 11 3/4"

    225= 13 7/8"

    the shorter cable can easily be made to work by adding a threaded shaft...............

    I'll use a coupler nut and a couple of jam nuts and some threded rod so over all length is 13 7/8".
