clutch and speedo cables

Hi
I have replaced my 1600 with a 2L and a 5 speed box but the speedo and clutch cables are now tight , I pulled the dash out and now cant get the speedo cable back in I will have to disconnect it from the gear box plug the dash in and redo the gearbox.
Does any one know what can be used as a replacement i.e. Escort of similar, that will be a bit longer, the clutch is a similar problem as it wants to rub on the exhaust (tied it back loosely with a big cable tie) just needs to be a few inches longer.
thanks
John

    you can get longer speedo from places like burton.
    Look for one specific to escort for type9 box.
    Pretty sure you can get longer clutch too if you hunt around.

    I also have all the clutch cables you could need and speedo cables. Lengths are listed on the website.
    You'll find our price is very good too.
