I used a universal kit bought from mk for
£4 to fix the cable to the peddle.
As regards return springs and routing,
it depends on what carbs/injection you are fitting.
I have bike carbs on a zetec and have used the cable adjuster from the bike.
I have fitted a return spring where he return cable goes and hooked it onto
the return cable outer fitting(if that makes any sense)

Whatever method you use its essential the the mounting on the pedal end can pivot otherwise the cable will snap over time. I would also suggest running 2 cables 1 as a back up if one fails as done on the webber set up.

Im using standard bike brake cables for my twin 40 set up. No problems in 3 years of running
