Clutch Pedal Connection

What's the most reliable clutch cable to pedal connection ?

At present I've a small brass ferrule through a hole in the pedal so it swivels with, in effect, a bolt pinching the cable to a washer. The connection swivels but I've never been happy with it. The cable has now chaffed and I'm down to one or two strands left !

Perhaps a clevis pin next ?

Cheers, Lyn.

Can't you get a clutch cable that has a proper nipple on the end to take a clevis etc?
I modded what I think was a Mk3 Cortina clutch cable that has a "polo" on the end to take a clevis pin, I just cut it down to length and crimped/soldered on a nipple at the clutch end.

Good idea, I'll try to find one in the motor factors tomorrow.

I modded my R1 cable (with the clutch arm turned to get a direct pull) and put a solderless nipple on the pedal side. This was a twat to fit but worked for a while.

Working at the arm end should be easier that at the pedals.

Thanks.
