Ok, so I'm a little slow out the gate ;`) but I did figure out where this thing gets mounted, but without the tranny (at shop) I can't tell what orientation it is mounted. I guess I can wait until I get the tranny back, but in the meantime can anyone give me some advice on what clutch cable to run? Much appreciated!

Panhead Mousetrap Eliminator & Clutch Cable

I have a 60 pan in wishbone rigid. When I tore down the bike I didn't think to photograph how the mousetrap eliminator

bracket "C" type attaches. I have an article by Jammer on doing a mousetrap eliminator but they don't go into any detail on

the c clamp. I know this seems very simple to most of you guys so forgive my ignorance.

Also, the article recommends a "heavy" clutch cable and the one that I took (cut) off is trashed, but it does seem like a very

heavy duty cable. So I'm wondering if anyone has a recommendation on a cable. Jireh.com has a Barnett 48-519, but I can't tell

how heavy duty it is. J&P has a Barnett as well 520-391 and again, hard to tell if it is heavy duty. Motion Pro's are less expensive

but because they cost up to half as a barnett, I'm guessing they are thinner type.

Thanks!
