Cant ever get the cable clutch to work as good as it should, never seems to disengage the clutch completely as if there is not enough available travel on the Ford lever arm, any tips ?
Other option is to go for a hydraulic one probably using Burton bits, anyone fitted one and does it do the job ?

Had both 20v and 16v 4A-GEs, using Raw's bell housing and didn't have *much* trouble getting good clutch actuation. Addmittedly I did have to shave the outer end of the Ford lever arm and "modify" the Striker tunnel just a tiny bit to prevent fouling. Also used most of the available adjustment on the cable.

I will be taking the engine out again shortly so will have a look at the lever arm mechanism as I did alter the mounting at the peddle end. It just feels like the lever arm wants to move further in to disengage the clutch fully, but cant for some reason. Its as if the arm is bottoming out before it should do as the pedal would travel further if needed to. Will have to get the box out and try it out of the car I think. Its bloody annoying that i cant just adjust it via the cable adjustment and get it working properly.
