It's a little more of a hassle on the install, but it seemed to eliminate any hassle with the clutch, once the car was on the street, particularly with larger engines and stiffer clutches and the posts I was reading about clutches mysteriously going out of adjustment.

Only the front half of the quadrant is used. The graft involves 3 ea., 1/4" bolts. The cable end just drops into the slot, and stays put.

The firewall adjuster could be eliminated for simplicity and the BBK cable set into the OEM firewall mount and it's done. I had two objectives in the BBK adjustable firewall adapter, and beefier firewall mount. First, it makes initial install and subsequent incremental adjustments as the clutch wears a snap. Second, I wanted to spread the load applied to the fiberglass firewall as the clutch was depressed over a larger, and cushoned surface area. This would eliminate any firewall flexing, or cracking.

It worked for me.
