    Yea, we're still wondering. I'm installing a T5 now and doing a lot of thinking of whether I want to do a cable clutch or not. I have mav pedals and a FoxBody cable and the two just don't seem to want to attach. LOL!

    yes, very few are left though. ive almost sold out of them

    i tried the fox pedals, and the fox pedal and quradrant setup as well and could never get it to work to my liking, so that's why i went this route and made my own setup using the mav pedals and this particular cable

    yeah, the cable and qradrant setup isnt the isnt to deal with.

    the hydraulic setups that some have look really nice and seem to function smoothly, as long as you have the extra time to fab everything up for it.:yup:

    Need to check the Street Rod magazines/parts stores. If you could buy an assembly with the hardware, I'm sure with a little fab work it could be done very nicely.
    Does anybody know if a complete clutch/brake pedal assy is available aftermarket?

    Hey Mean Maverick,

    Can you tell us what cable that you found to work better?

    I've been thinking of fabbing a bracket that extends from the top of the mav clutch over the whole assembly and mounts a quadrant to the Right side of the pedals and brake master. From there the only problem seems to be that I have way too much cable.
