Clarks clutch cable?

[4carbcorvair]

Anyone know much about the Clarks replacement clutch cables? Are they any good? I picked one up on Ebay for cheap, advertised as NOS, it has a Clarks part number on it....

I haven't had to replace mine yet. You'll have to be the guinea pig and test it out. ;)

Thing is, I don't need it. :lol: I picked it up for a spare due to it being new, and the price. $9.99

I replaced the one on my '66 with a Clarks. Well its a clutch cable...doesn't look as strong as laundry cable...so we'll see next year I suppose (BTW - I'm in the GWN).

If it fails, I'm going chain.

has anyone gone to a hydraulic clutch

[Scott H]

oooh, yeah. I would like to do that also. Maybe we should start a topic specifically for it?

There are external slave cylinders you can get, aftermarket for the VW's, wonder if that would work. I will have to dig them up, the buggy guys and race guys use them.

I put a Clark's cable in mine 2 years ago and so far it's been fine. But of course that's one of those things that's fine until it isn't anymore.

Travis, so you just jinxed yourself by saying it's fine?

[tboltkc]

LOL - probably...

Of course I bought 2 so because I have one in stock, it'll last forever :)

Take the extra and stash it under your door sill plate and the side of the rear seat. Then when you do need it, it'll be handy.
