Raf,

I've got an A, but I suppose the pedal cluster is the same. Whats the problem?

See pics below. The way the clutch cable & accelerator cable shafts stick out of the left side of the tunnel doesn't make sense to me. Are they both supposed to be outside the tunnel? How would the two cables go through the tunnel through the small hole? What am I doing wrong?
Thanks
Raf

Raf,

I only have these photos handy now. I will have a look later tonight and take a pic of the passenger side of the tunnel.

Cheers

Steve

Raf Here are some links to some high res pics of the passenger side.

I also took a very amateur vid of the linkage action.

My accelerator rod has a hump in it where it goes over the handbrake cable tube!

Sorry if they are a bit dark, the car is garaged and under a cover.

I hope this helps
