I've been using my firewall adjuster to compensate, but I'm almost out of threads and I'd rather not pull the last few threads out and be totally screwed.So I used my trusty Leatherman Micra which has ruler-markings too small for you to see in this blurry photo... to get an idea of what size I'm working with here.<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-x3RmI8Xjc4w/U62Eu4e9ZoI/AAAAAAAAAj8/OBWi_5DcsUQ/s1600/20140627_095135.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Went to the local hardware store and bought 3/4" and 1" PVC pipe couplings. Used the saw on my MUT to carve out a notch:<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-nQgsv670l5c/U62ExRwKW9I/AAAAAAAAAkE/CiH_wZPcIPQ/s1024/20140627_102152.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Then got back out to the car and realized that the notch is no-where near big enough.. so I make it bigger:<img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-_HDoDxE1D-I/U62E5ed77oI/AAAAAAAAAkM/rUIoesZIn5c/s1024/20140627_102919.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />and finally.. slip it on and secure it with zip ties to test it out.<img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-3HYwfxf8lpA/U62E-y98tYI/AAAAAAAAAkU/ymDT6a2iCQ4/s1600/20140627_103136.jpg" alt="" class="fr-fic fr-dii fr-draggable " style="" />Was great success.Now I'll need to trim the zip-ties when I leave so I can wrap it with my silicone tape to protect it from the heat. If I can make it back home without it melting, that would be great, but I have some spare couplers, just in case.Maybe I'll MacGuyver a heat shield out of some soda cans while I'm at it.Got my MM cable in like 2 days instead of the 3 that I paid for (expedited shipping since they're in Cali and I'm in SC), so it will get installed this weekend and hopefully I can put the days of shitty clutch cables behind me.</blockquote>
