Cable adjustment perch hole stripping
The hole in the clutch perch where the adjustment nut for the clutch cable screws into. The threads inside it are stripped about ¼" of the way down. As the cable stretches, I have less and less room to back off the nut to take up the slack.
Anyone else have this problem? Any solution besides buying a whole new perch? |

I bet you can get a used perch on ebay pretty cheaply. That's what I would do. Not sure any fix-it would be as safe for you.

Can you use the regulation at the other end of the cable? If not, you could make a extension for the cable housing from an aluminum cylinder with a longitudinal groove. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bowden_cable
