I don't think the angle of the Fiore is good enough to secure the cable tightely so it doesn't move side to side.

The firewall adjuster is nice. Just sucks trying to drill the holes to mount it. Hope you have a very small drill that can fit between the firewall and valve cover. If not, it will be impossible to install.

I would have purchased a new cable. I like the FRPP adjustable cable best. You will need to modify the cable in order for it to work with the firewall adjuster.
Wow, sounds much more complicated than I thought. Might wait to tackle this then. Right now the motivation is very little as it has not had any lockout problems in a good while.
