why not?HISSIN50 said:I run their single-hook and extreme FWA (and stock cable) on the fox. Not that it helps you much with the SN though.
Good luck Paul.
It would have been nice if I could provide a direct experience that those components worked great in an SN95. Since the SN cable is longer, there is always a chance of something not working right (I really doubt it though).Ram000 said:why not?
I think you meant to say that you like the stock quadrant and pawl's ability to keep the adjustment correct. A cable is a cable. Some have an adjustment-nut to allow adjustments and the stockers have nothing (the quad and pawl teeth engagement holds the adjustment). A FWA needs to be used on a non-adjustable cable unless you are just one lucky guy. But then you would never be able to adjust the cable as things wear (unless you unhook it and manually shim the firewall at the grommet. Not my idea of fun).R.J. said:I think keeping the stock cable is great for two reasons. It is the best cable for reliability and strength and the incorrect adjustment factor is no longer there. I would have kept my stock cable if I knew it would work with steeda's quadrant. I can't see how it would work because the cable would have to be the perfect length due to both ends getting attached to something solid. How are you guys making this work on sn95's? firewall adjusters? or does it just fit perfect?
With the (stock) adjustable quadrant/pawl, you can use a FWA (nice if the cable is really stretched) but really dont need it. The stock quadrant should accept either type of cable too (again redundant with an adjustable cable).Ram000 said:don't forget an adjustable clutch quadrant with either, yes?

Herr Hearne,D.Hearne said:It only needs to be a quarter inch or so longer ( or maybe say a half inch ) then use some kind of adjustment built into it to fine tune it.
HISSIN50 said:I would say that the OEM cable is VERY hard to beat in terms of quality. It would be my first choice. See MM's site for a quality cable at a good price (for SN95's).
The car was my kid's before. Stock repalcement cable, no firewall adjuster, stock original quadrant. Personally I don't see what a firewall adjuster would do, the cable's still the same length.HISSIN50 said:Herr Hearne,
I just skimmed the thread and missed what GGT's combo is, in terms of quad/FWA?/ and cable.
The two places on aftermarket stuff that I would look for gaining a hair of slack are:
At the firewall grommet, if he has one (stock). Also if OEM, double check that the quadrant/pawl adjustment is already released. I suppose one could shave the grommet down a little, dont ya think?
And since this was someone else's car before, if he has a FWA, I have to ask if the grommet was removed.
And if using an aftermarket quadrant, I would take a looksie at what is up there. Some are made only for their proprietary [longer] adjustable cables. I ran into this issue with the SVO single hook and an OEM cable. I was about 2 RCH's short of being able to make the connection at the fork.
I bet you can find some way to dig up some extra slack...... It's just how much of a PITA it will be to accomplish.Good luck.
Ok, I gotcha. I was trying to post info for each situation (stock vs aftermarket parts).D.Hearne said:The car was my kid's before. Stock repalcement cable, no firewall adjuster, stock original quadrant. Personally I don't see what a firewall adjuster would do, the cable's still the same length.
