There was a very comprehensive guide to fitting one in a recent magazine. Cant remember if it was PF or FF.

Its only really a benefit if you have a heavy paddle clutch. It will make the pedal lighter to press.

And I suppose you've got the added bonus of never having to replace the cable

There is no actual 'advantage' as such its just a more modern way of doing things.

And i personally would much rather have a cable clutch anyday, no worry of cylinders failing when the car is left stood for a while, and its a LOT cheaper to replace a cable, not that they often go anyway.....

This may of been the one on Cpt Scarletts car. One of the reasons he done this was because the car was running anti lag & when it's switched on the brakes don't work, so rather than cack his pants when having to brake with the ALS on he decided to have a bit of a change around, think it may have had something to do withthe pedal box he's got on there as well.
