New (to me!) '77 CB400F - US model
Bryanj:
I have a cable that is longer than those measurements but approx the same "free play" you can have it for postage but that is probably more than a local e bay purchase!
mattsz:
Thank you Bryan - I don't know how much the shipping would be, but the ebay guy I mentioned earlier has been very helpful with trying to sort out if it's really the right cable, and he's charging US$20 including shipping, so based on all that I'll probably go that way...
Bryanj:
No problem, one of the hazards of living opposite sides of the pond!!

So I soaked the clutch adjustment bolt in white distilled vinegar for a few days, along with some fine filing, and it came up pretty neat and clean. I'll reuse it, with plenty of lubrication/rust prevention.
The clutch lever's pivoted cable mount end is pretty badly rusted where the cable attaches. I'd like to try to reuse it; can I safely soak it in vinegar as well? Not sure what kind of finish it has, and whether it will handle it...
Also, where the lever attaches to... umm... whatever it attaches to with that nut (clutch adjusting bolt?)... the lever seemed sort of loose and a bit "floppy?" even though the nut was tight. Is that normal?
Bryanj:
There is, or rather should be, some "free play" in the lever movement before the mechanism starts to operate the clutch.
