Default Pedal box how to's

I've finished making my pedal box but my problem is how to connect the accelerator cable and clutch cable to the pedals.

The clutch cable has a ball on the end and the accelerator had like a T on the end.


Help would be appreciated.

Nick

U shaped clamp with mounting holes for pedal and slot in the front to slot cable and ball into it,you could slot the throttle cable through pedal hole and clamp the cable with solderless nipple.

A Ford Capri clutch cable is the ideal solution for the clutch, as it has an "eyed end" (not sure about the English word for this part, sorry), which has a 6mm diameter hole. Perfect to be attached with a 6mm bolt.

+1 for the Capri cable. I welded on another plate to hold the eyelet on the end of the cable and attached it with a clevis pin (DIY out of a rod with a washer welded on):
