Firewall adj.

I was just thinking, instead of buying the OEM cable right now and also the quadrant, couldn't I just buy the firewall adj and use it if the cable is just needing to be a little tighter to get it adj right?
OR
at least do the quadrant and Firewall adj

Ya'll thoughts?

Re: Firewall adj.

The factory quadrant should tighten the cable as it stretches. Have you tried pulling up on the pedal?

You know I'm running the steeda stuff and like it, but whatever you get make sure the fwa has a click lock mechanism. You don't want to mess with a set screw.

No I haven't tried that, but will next time out in the car.
yes I want a locking mechanism for sure. I used Steeda before, but was checking out other brands, UPR has one, a double lock one and MM seems to have a good one.

Re: Firewall adj.

Well just placed my order for
-Steeda Quadrant
-UPR Quick Click Firewall Cable Adjuster

I'll try these first and just see if that fixes the problem, if not, then i'll be getting a new OEM cable to replace.
