Default Mx5 throttle cable
Probably a simple solution, but I cant think how I can get the MX5 throttle cable to fit the pedal!

Do you use a different cable, or can I buy a simple clevis to do the job for me?

Build cost.... seems to be spending more on tools than car bits at the moment! (they will be handy in the future though).

I used the original throttle cable and made my own clevis to suit...
Should have a picky somewhere..
