Yep 2" from the floor. Cable new genuine mk1 v6 not a cheap eBay one. Nothing wrong with cable.Yep pedal in car is hard up against pin which is level with brake pedal. I don't know why mine I sent higher but it is so I'll live with it . 
Going try put small spacers between flywheel and pressure plate .That shall bring pedal grip up .
Fingers crossed

Is it the MK3 V6 capri cable?  they have a big bushing at the top http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/FORD-CAPRI-3-0-2-8i-NEW-CLUTCH-CABLE-/361313305671?hash=item541ff38447 this might give you grief.  They are being sold off as suitable by a few of the specialists
 
A MK1 capri cable should look like this http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-CLUTCH-CABLE-QCC1014-FITS-FORD-CAPRI-MK1-2000cc-V4-1968-71-/191678519332?fits=Model%3ACapri&hash=item2ca0ee1824

No John it was a NOS in a ford bag not from eBay at all.Let's say I sourced it locally .Not the cable guys .. Pressure plate is NOT Capri but it will work with small spacers to move the grabbing point up higher. I'll keep everyone's updated.
To the guys running similar problem might have a solution.
Cheers for input guys

Strange how this Clutch Saga is prevalent !..........When I found my Capri some 4 years ago, I drove it back to Mornington from Ballarat and it drove like a dream (AFTER SITTING in shed FOR 15 YEARS IYDMU!!!!).......no Clutch problems at all !
 
Pulled Eng & GB out , overhauled engine, and next item was to replace all Gaskets and Seals on a very leaky box thanks to some yo-yo putting in Selector Seals that were 100% useless and had a 1mm gap for oil to slush out !!!........they weren't worn out; just wrong as proven by eye/calipers and part number still on them !......lucky I filled Box b4 leaving Ballarat, and she lost 1/4 of fill by the time I travelled the 200km back to home, with no damage..........
 
.........not satisfied with leaving well enough alone, I had to self-criticize the amount of "slop" in the Primary Input Shaft which wasnt due to worn bearings. So I "spaced" up the gap between the Front Cover/Thrust Support and the Main Fr Brg Circlip just so there was 90% of "slop" removed...............BIG MISTAKE !...........now cant select ANY gears unless I double de-clutch which I havent done for many decades.............it wasn't pretty !
 
:-(  ..........back in the shed till I have time to r&r GB and remove offending spacers !.........BUGGER !
