Mike rainbird does a alu quadrant which is adjustable but its around the hundred quid mark but once done its never going to break

cable is a doddle
the ratchet/quadrant is a bit of a fiddly pain in the ass
to up rate either aly 1 as above or you can convert to hydraulic
the hydraulic option is hughly recomened with the paddle clutch, lighter pedal and extended life as well, but also the dearest option i'm afraid
