John W.,

While we are at the topic of clutch cable replacement/installation, what would be an ideal length threaded at the 'clevis' end of the cable? If I remember correctly, you suggested a certain amount that has to be threaded (at the clevis end) sometime ago. If not, how much would you 'thread in' for an SC clutch cable installation? Thanks.
