Another? Something isn't adjusted or lining up right.

This will be the third one. Never had an issue with the stock clutch. First one broke with the stock quadrant, second one was the UPR quadrant kit & aftermarket cable and this last one was an OEM cable from ford. Pretty sure it has to do with the clutch that's in the car. It's got a centerforce that is incredibly stiff. It always breaks right at the quadrant.
Drove mine a few weeks ago. Sad that was the first time since June it had been on the road. Might try and take it out Friday we will see if the weather holds. Contemplating letting it go since I don't drive it hardly anymore

This past year the only time I really drive it is up onto the trailer, at the race track and back onto the trailer. First time I'm actually nice to it and drive it normal on the street it breaks on me lol.
Had my Classics refinished. Just waiting on new tires to show up.
Is it breaking the end off or breaking near the firewall???
Need to throw some mods at it.
This is what I'm wondering. It could be rubbing if it's not lined up right.

Last one broke right on the bend of the quadrant. This one looks like it may be in the same place. Almost like the quadrant itself is eating thru the cables.
most of them need some combination of washers to make sure it is lined up with the adjuster, otherwise it will keep eating through cables right at the area you circled
Thats exactly whats happening, your alignment is off so the quadrant is rubbing on the cable which is cutting it. Its a PITA but you need to shim the quadrant so the cable is right in the center and not rubbing the edges of the groove in the quadrant.
Yeah, I remember reading that years ago when I put the quadrant kit in it and I did put a few washers in it but it was such a PITA I wasn't sure if i got it right or not. Guess I didn't lol. Thanks for the info guys I'll have to take another look at it when I put it back in! I'll probably pull the seat out this go around to make it a little easier.
Just get a headlamp and do some body oragami, no need to pull the seat.
I've been thinking the same way, but my wife keeps saying no. I have not driven my car in 3 or 4 weeks and I'm pretty sure Aaron has been driving by my house. If you are out driving your car Friday and can swing by, I'm just on the north side of 21St in Lakeway addition in cornerstone.
Youre lucky, every time I talk about selling my Cobra my wife calls me an idiot and says "you WILL regret it".
I'll let you know. The only problem is I own the cobra out right and when looking at HC and CTSV, I would have to take out a loan. I have fun with the car and its great to drive on date night. My work is also moving to a bad area of town so not sure I'll be taking it to work anymore.
Maybe an E85 tune and or a 93 (E30) will change my mind.
Decided to save my mint OEM Headlights and put a set of these clear corner lights in. I love the look just wish the quality was similar to OE.
Long story short, pulled the cover back, put these in and plugged in the battery tender.
I’m starting to hoard OEM parts

Clear corners look great on these cars. I need to pick up a set and do a retrofit while I'm there
