Help me choose a clutch cable

As title chaps. Zetec with Type 9 box and comp brake pedal box (same sort of thing as OBP). Several suspects at Burtons:

Any ideas/preferences?

Thanks

Dan

I used one from a capri. Its like the escort one but a bit longer so you have a bigger smoother loop. It had the rubber damper but I cut that of to give more bare cable.

What's the damper for then? Is that the big white bit or the blue tube?!

If in doubt try routing a piece of fence wire between the pedal fitting and the clutch operating lever, measure it and then get the cable accordingly. IIRC I used a Capri cable as well, my pedal box is similar and I have a type 9 box just make sure it clears everything
