Angry RS 2000 or 2lt clutch cable

Hi All
I have purchased from " Burtons" a RS2000 clutch cable, Just beware it wont fit the aussie model, or any 2lt escort it only good for the Alloy sump alloy bellhousing model ( they dont say that in the add, there responce was send it back at my cost, so 2 things
1 If you have the above please PM me and I will sell you a cheap cable
2 Does anybody know where I can get a Aussie clutch cable ( its longer by 65mm than the pommie one)

I've used the Flexdrive CC118 in the RS2000 for the last 15 years no problems

Have also heard of people using the longer Cortina 2lt cable (1.2mtrs) to reroute around extractors and such.

Try Stewart at SMCKA - top service, good prices and quick dispatch. All parts I've gotten from him have been good quality and fit no problems

I bought the Burtons Clutch cable and it fitted fine. I also bought a speedo cable and the connection for the Gearbox was too thick - but I filed it down and its now fine.

Very good advice from the guys to buy from Smcka. He is a good source of knowledge on parts. When you buy from burtons you need to order for mk2 2 litre escort, not rs2000. theres a few other parts like suspension TCA's and engine parts that are different as the pommy RS's were a bit sportier spec, ours are just dressed up standard MK2 2 litre escort rally packs.
