    We’ve had a couple weeks of mild and sunny weather here in Houston, but my Lafer is stuck in the shop awaiting a new clutch cable. My mechanic couldn’t find one to fit, so ordered a shortening kit which will won’t be here for another week or so. Frustrating, to say the least.

    U clamps work just fine. My car’s cable was looped through a single cable clamp and it stayed fast for decades. When I replaced it I went sort of overboard.

    Well now, Ed, you’ve gone and exceeded my level of mechanical expertise there. Is the U-clamp to shorten a clutch cable?

    Yes. Hit the link for a picture. Cable clamps you can buy at Home Depot or any hardware store.
