what clutch cable is used on the conversion do you have to mod the cable to fit a new one or will a normal gte cable fit

use the nova cable. but where it comes out the bulkhead the hole needs to be modified topint down more and point more towards the gearbox aswell. this stops the cables breaking overy hundred miles.

as i said i always use the nova cables.....
no need to mod the throttle cable hole. make sure your cable isnt catching an anything or turning too sharply anywhere on its route to the throttle body

i have read you should use the cavvy or astra cable i thoughjt this was due to length but if yoyu say you can use nova cables thats excellent one less thing to buy :D
You need to use a Nova clutch cable and a Cav/Astra accelerator cable. Thats what i've always used anyway when doing conversions.

im confused
use the cable from the engine,
the hole dont need modding
the clutch cable is a nova cable,and the hole needs bending down and 2wards the gearbox....
