Default HELP! need some confirmation.

Im almost done my b16 swap into my CRX, did the wiring today. My question is, do i use a DA throttle body cable and bracket? My throttle body cable is too short and so is the bracket. And, i am missing my clutch cable bracket on my transmission, so do i use a bracket from a DA? Thanks in advance too any responses. Need too know asap so i can order tomorrow morning. Its starting too get cold and i wanna drive my ef for a bit before winter is HERE.

I used the DA throttle cable on my B16 CRX. I don't think I used the DA bracket though.

I also used a DA cable 90-93 integra if your dont know what a DA is, and for the clutch cable use the bracket for the b16, and the stock clutch cable it will fit with little adjustment, and at a later time i would suggest also getting a DA clutch cable... and the bracket for the throttle i used the stock b16

first you would need to measure how much you need to extend the mounting point by...probably around 1.5-1.7 inches...cut the bracket and weld in an extension...or make your own bracket extension that bolts on...if you want i can take a picture of the one i made for my buddies ride tomorrow

to tell you the truth man i dont know that much about whats interchangeable and what not...but im almost positive you can use the stock clutch cable bracket...
just use your stock bracket and modify it to work with the stock cable...why waste money if you dont have to...

the dealer is a rip...go to the junkyard
if you buy the da cable you might still need to modify the bracket...or is it a direct fit? im sure someone else can clarify...if i were you id just modify the bracket...spend the money on beer instead...ill try to illustrate my point in paintshop and post it up
