    Anyone have pics: early 915 clutch cable support strap

    Does anyone have any photos of the correct way to mount the clutch cable support bracket and strap on an early 915 transmission? This is all I can find (from a post on Pelican): not shown is the flexible strap nor the clutch cable. I believe it's function is to keep the clutch cable off the bell crank.
    Many thanks.

    This is the way I do it. When I loop it around the cable I use a nyloc nut and barely snug it. If u tighten it up the metal grommet gets crushed and u won’t get it off later. Some Teck folks say u don’t need it, that it might contribute to clutch chatter. The strap doesn’t keep the cable housing off the bell crank, the bow in the cable housing does. I use it because I’m old school.

    That's super helpful, thanks. My last clutch cable rubbed against the bell crank, even with the bow.

    Has anyone got a photo of the Bowden tube and cable properly installed and routed? That's always been a mystery to me (72 915 installed in my car).

    My cable is about an inch above the bellcrank. Also note hand brake cable on that side with support strap.
