Default Yep. No change to cable length

The fiberglass dohickey at the top of the footbox is also unmodified. I have to do my clutch cable length adjustments under the car now instead of in the footbox.

The quadrant "rotates" (with the pedal) around the big long bolt which serves as the pivot for both the clutch and brake. The cable is hooked over the end of the quadrant, gets pulled straight back from the end of the cable sheath and is then wrapped around the quadrant (maybe a 8 inch effective diameter versus the 1 inch pulley as shipped by B&B) as the pedal is depressed. I'll see if I can come-up with a photo or a sketch.

Again, I'm not sure this is a cure. All of my cable breaks were at the pulley, though, and I just decided to try increasing the bend radius to see if that would help cable life.
