    Here's a couple of additional pics of the assemble put together outside the car, see pic #1 & 2

    Now for the clutch cable I don't have very good pics of the bracket I made but I welded the mounting piece to a flat bar then bolted it inside the x-member in case I needed to take it out or move it as some point. I clamped it in place to test it before I drilled the holes, however you can see I ended up with an extra hole or two anyway....LOL! I bought the modified shorter cable from Pete & Jakes which is a little pricey compared to aftermarket ones for Mustangs but I thought the shorter one might be less hassle in the long run. I don't have a pic of it but it loops around to the clutch arm and seems to work effortlessly. There is a lot of adjustment on both ends of the cable so there is a little forgiveness if you don't get it exactly right the first time.
    Pics #3 & 4 show this part. I promised you better pics of this bracket but I still have the engine in the car and can't get a good camera angle. I'll be pulling back out before long and can snap some pics then.

    Hope this helps. Obviously, if you come up with a better way, let us all know! LOL!
