You do it at the end with the adjustor, usually at the engine end.

do the holdens need some free play in the cable!i no the fords do.i had to have about quarter of inch free play at the clutch fork or my brand new clutch would slip.not sure if holdens are the same tho.

I would imagine they need some free play in there, otherwise the thust bearing will be engaged constantly and wear out in no time.

Remember to always lubricate the cable well before installing.

thought the 81 had the adjustment on the firewall, 81 was the HQ! shape, came out as belmont and kingswood (173/9 or 186 or 202)
big nylon thread and nut where the cable comes through

HQ had a long rod, that you adjust with a 7/16 spanner from memory, have about 1" free play at pedal
