IIRC, you need to measure your pedal's travel rather than the thread on the cable.

to adjust your clutch correctly....
get a long piece of wood and stick it in the middle of the clutch pedal.. draw a line on the piece of wood were it meets the bottom of the sterring wheel.
now pres the pedal right down to the floor and again put the piece of wood in the centre of the pedal with the pedal on the floor. drw another line on the piece of wood at the bottom of the steering wheel.
now measure the distance between the the 2 lines on the piece of wood.
it should be between 126mm and 132mm....
oh and buy a haynes
