I first have to say I can not take full credit for this idea because I saw a similar one on another forum post. I only changed it up a bit and made it less bulky with no ankle biter protrusions. Ive trimmed off the bolt since taking the pictures.I only wish I knew the poster so I could give them credit.
So here we go
I used a closet door roller for the cable. I pulled out the clutch linkage post cut it off at the narrow point and welded a bolt into place as the pulley post. This allows me to with the help of a nut bellow and above the pulley to raise or lower the pulley height as needed.
Using a pulley with a deep groove so the cable rides smoothly and securely which is nessecary becuase of the slight angle of the original post hole.
For the lower bracket I used thin small angle iron from home depot. All holes were pre drilled and lucky enough they all matched up perfect. Two pieces on the clutch plate side bolted on in the original clutch cover plate holes with longer bolts. Then a short bolt to hold the two pieces together. I suppose you could weld them or make it from one solid plate with a tab bent at 90 degrees for the cable mount. That might be my next project for a cleaner look. ( Any takers? If I make 1 I can make a 100
)
On this bracket I then used an old throttle cabel linkage tube and straightened it out a bit with a hammer. Two nuts on either side of the bracket as well as the original sleeve and jam nut allow for lots of adjustments as well as smooth operation.
No need for the two springs on the cable shroud or between the old post and lever. Every thing works cleanly and so far without fail for two months.
