    73 S - clutch cable clevis question

    I appreciate all the replies to my posts as I attend to so many details. I would like confirmation that the 'clevis' in the attached photo is correct - I am asking because of the triangular ears that sit in the half-round receivers in the clutch arm...I would think they (theh clevis ears) would be round, but Pelican (for example) shows this to be the correct clevis. Also, in PET they show a single hex nut that goes on the cable that would tighten against the clevis, but I would imagine TWO are needed to tighten against one another to maintain/lock the adjustment? Thank you all.

    That's the correct clevis mounted correctly. The single nut listed is a nylock nut as originally supplied, experience has shown they eventually lose their grip and adjustment. Two standard nuts tightened together will not move.
