If it says oem then any should do, it'll last years anyway I should imagine.
Only things I worry about are maybe injectors and sensitive electronic items or things that get hot like brake pads.
Just my opinion
56 350 2.2 130ps mk7 with 2 side doors 8)
65 290 2.2 125ps custom with 2 side doors 8)
07 350 170ps

thanks for the info...with the clutch cable its the nipple that connects to the clutch end that often fails. you can get these attached at brake servicing places.

at the moment i have a original ford cable in there....they dont make them anymore.....


the trick to have a replacement cable in case things go bad and you cant get a tow. although that in itself is stressful
