    As long as it reaches the box then any will do. I don't see why a std one won't do it. Longer ones are easier to route possibly.

    I used a longer one myself, as the old cross flow one was a bit too short. It was listed as a Mk1 Escort 880mm by QH.
    Used with a T9, RS2000 bell housing and Retroford clutch cable bracket.
    I'll try and get you the part number if you want.

    A MK3 Cortina clutch cable was a good one to use, it was longer and easier to route avoiding contact with the exhaust manifold.
