Cheers for that. I copied the way my old cable was but it's just not working the same. I think I will give the graphite powder a try, failing that I will try another new cable as there may be something wrong with the new one! Thank you all for the help and im sure I will need you all again! My spitfire is getting there though!

Hello, The cable should go straight down through the hole in the "shelf" portion of the firewall, which is directly over the accelerator pedal. It definitely does NOT go through the holes in the brake/clutch pedal brackets. For the MK IVs at least, there isn't really anything supporting the cable except at the ends. I have a US LHD car, but my advice is based on looking at the factory parts book and photos of RHD cars in the Thomason book.
