Except a hydraulic setup is about 30 times more expensive than a cable!!

I run a cable and full AP 6 paddle kit btw

Cheers Paul

How reliable is the clutch cable while running a meaty clutch? My pedal box has been reinforced as apparently they break there?

How strong are they though? May be easy on axle stands but what about the side of the motorway?

Cheers for the reply ridgey that's what I wanted to hear, so from the sounds of it the only advantage of hydro is less pedal weight which doesn't bother me anyway
