I got under the car only to discover that 7 of the 9 "little cables" that form the clutch cable were frayed and snapped. Fun. Who makes the best clutch cable that will work with my Steeda Adjuster? I keep hearing that all the 'imported' cables are much thinner then some of the others out there.<br /><br />Suggestions will be highly valued.<br /><br />Oh, this is with a FMS King Cobra clutch (still going strong after 50,000 miles at 430/460 at the wheels) so the static pressure is higher then stock. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#f7f7f7"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>blind</b> <br /><small>Member # 3052</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,10,26,16,49,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> ford OEM.<br /><br />the best place to get one would be a junkyard as they dont make them anymore, but if you want to buy one brand new maximum motorsports sells some cables that are very close in quality to original ones. <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>GOTULKN</b> <br /><small>Member # 4933</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2004,10,27,18,23,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> Find your local ford motorsport dealer....
