I haven't installed exhaust yet, working on cables.
I don't have a picture from my tear-down as to how the Speedo/Clutch cables were suspended. Anyone have a reference photo they can share??? |

In case I wasn't clear...
It looks to me that halfway from the firewall to the clutch roller there is a spot on the engine case that wants to accept a screw. And my guess is that I need a bracket to act as a sling to support the Clutch and Speedo cables. On 914Rubber I see what looks like a leather sling, something that I can easily make myself. |

I mount the speedo cable with a loop clamp on the trans side cover at the12 o'clock position. Keeps it away from the heat exchangers. The strap you see on 914 Rubber is a reproduction of a strap that was used in the engine compartment to support the accelerator cable. |

@cassmcentee
Hey Cass, I have my 1975 1.8 up on the scissor lift right now to adjust the clutch so here's a few pictures of the cable routing for that car. You can see the speedo cable housing got a bit melted at some point in its life. Right now it is just cable tied to the clutch cable. Hope these are helpful.     |

Cass,
I've also left accessible the links to the dropbox photos from when I had the car up for sale. Not sure if the photos you need are in there. There are also links there for the video of the theft attempt and a link to Mike's original for sale posting from 2009. You might want to download those for future reference, and amusement. I still get a laugh from that bumbling theft attempt. I'll probably delete those files, or make them private, in the near future. Here's the link: http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...=366880&hl= |

@fiacra Thank You! I'll hit up the link tomorrow and copy everything to a drive.
