Default Clutch cable

My new cable has snapped after only 3 months. Runing a Helix uprated clutch, Mk5 pedal mod and 180 or so bhp.

I see from Burton's website there are two available one for ABS and one without but what difference does it make?

My car does not have ABS fitted and I don't know if it was removed by someone previously as it is a turbo'd XR3i 90 spec.

Is there other cables that will fit that are stronger?

I don't think it'll make any difference to be honest. I can't see why there needs to be 2 different types of cable.

Me neither, you sure ones not for a s1 and the other a s2?

How heavy is your pedal? I've got a helix clutch and the pedal is pretty light etc.

Rob,

One is longer than the other (I ordered the wrong one) but I have no idea why that is
