I ordered one of those for my Kick-Out build.  Very high quality, plus he can make a custom length cable for shortened buggies.  Tom

It works like this - in place of the hook on the clutch arm at the pedal end. there is a "clevis" and a heim joint conection to the clutch cable.  The cable is threaded on both ends, one end is stock for the adjuster, the other end for the female heim joint.   The cable is very high quality.  Nice turning action in place of the sliding action that occurs with the stock hook & eye setup.  I am sure you have seen worn out stock hooks.  This will also make it easier (without modifying the stock hook) to put the pedal assy in the tunnel.  Tom

That looks pretty nifty. I think I will order one. Too bad you could not rig up something like that for the throttle cable as that is the one I am usually breaking.

I mentioned a throttle cable improvement, and something is in the works.  Tom

People always seem to figure how to solve problems Don't they. That design would work also. The throttle is something that needs updated also. You guys are right.
