Can someone take some measurements of a LHD clutch cable from any EA82 variant including XT and post in here please? I plan to do same with RHD. Our XT cable is different to wagons sedans etc and NLA. Wagons etc are. 

I guess length of outer and   centre of each pull end of inner be best

Seeing as though no photo allowed

From centre of eye for pin at pedal to end of threaded end as in very end

28 1/4 - 28 1/2 parallax error from photo

720 mm

bUmP!

'87 EA82 GL wagon clutch cable: 33 5/8 inches from clevis end to tip of threaded end.

Lucky fella with photo allowance ! Thanks CZNY

 

I also used a yellow tape, with yellow casing, almost thought my pics had miraculously loaded up.

Worst rules and tapes out have metric and imperial on the same face - affects accuracy

You know some years ago I thought LHD clutch cable  would be shorter ( but I was envisioning a clutch pedal next to the hump   )

Only ever driven auto LHD on our roads here - just as well no clutch to deal with !!

 

A whole extra 5 inches give or take - that idea blown away then - be nowhere to take up the extra. They retail about A$110 here

well, well, if new members are allowed to add photos I will help out Jono soon

Not a photo allowance here at USMB, jono........a photo allowance on host site.

As to that cable in LHD cars, there has to be a huge "S" shape to it as installed to go from LH drivers side foot to clutch fork right?

Yours would get cooked by my turbo or cat. RHD takes a not the best angle out the firewall then a curved 90° up to the fork. Must say I like the external support bracket I found in ,99 impreza

see my 1950's imperial stick ? Belonged to my architect grandfather so got fractions n stuff on it as well. His imperial scale rule does my head in !!

Long shot on this one @Step-a-toe as I haven’t seen you on the forums in a while, hope you’re well. 

Can you tell me where you sourced your new L series clutch cable from? 

I’m trying to help out a mate with one. 

Cheers

Stars aligned today Scott

Genuine order from the dealer but I hear that these cables are now not available

Hey mate, there you are! 

Thanks for that. We’ll be hitting up FROG on Monday, hoping for the best. 

Cheers

now, this time, for the second time , renewing my password, I have emailed myself the password. Will have to do same for AUSubaru too !

So, did Frog come up with a cable Bennie?

I actually never got back to him as my mate I was helping got one sorted  

Cheers

Don’t mean to come off as heal or know it all. 
I’m a bit confused about you saying that you have only ever driven the LHD over there in AUS don’t you PRIMARILY have the RHD there in AUS since you drive on the wrong side of the road there. 
Feel free to just come KICK me in the head if you want, even though I’ve had a stroke once in a while I deserve it. 

We do have LHD imports that are typically special interest vehicle. You certainly don’t see LHD vehicles over here often! 

And your driver is on the wrong side of the vehicle. 

Cheers

I guess that we’re going to have to agree to disagree!

As long as we are in our respective countries then we’ll be on the RIGHT side or LEFT in your case.

If we should visit the others country and continue to drive on the side of the road we think is right, it’s going to end HORRIBLY bad for either of us! 
 

That being said I would like to visit the LEFT side of the road one day. 

Bennie is correct Dinky. Special interest cars- generally. Although some internationals coming to live here for work sometimes bring their LHD cars in that are only special to them and not many others. 2008 also propped up our stocks of LHD imports as cashed up aussies took advantage of those in the US selling up toys and the nice exchange rate of the day.

Special interest that i got to drive around the block was a Mach variant of about '69 Mustang with a 390. More humdrum was just a gen 2 , i think, Legacy, that said it was made in the USA - Indiana.

I should have just tried driving it on our wrong side to see if i felt more comfortable in relation to the road's centre line markings !!

 

Word is that the US used to have the tiller on the right to begin with, unsure if that was also drive RHS

I’ve seen several European LHD motor homes in Bendigo in the last few years. Very odd to see on our roads! But cool being able to cruise different countries in your own vehicle (this is a generally odd concept on Oz since we’re surrounded by water).
