Re: Where can I get a clutch cable- URGENT!
I think I might be in luck. It's not the cable that broke but the cast alloy fitting on the end. Hopefully I'll be able to make a steel replacement.

On the 26th of feb there is a vintage Japanese car show. I'm not sure on all the details so if anyone has info post it up. All I know is that it's on the 26th and your car must be Japanese and older than 86.
