gsf & euro sell these pieces.... you'll possibly need the clutch arm ratchet and green cover too as when the ratchet breaks/cracks you lose all the pieces listed
and finally it would be wise to replace the cable as there never the same when they fully extend!!

does the arm still feel tensioned? as under the green cap there is a rachet which snaps.....this makes the pedal drop to the floor and the cable ping all the bits off the end!! (and to remove the cover you'll bend it and need to replace!!)
but if theres still tension, put a jack under the arm and very slowly/gently lift the arm until you can locate the cable! I've done a few over the years this way  :wink:

the arm lifts up till 9.00 position and then stops, is this the point im guessin where tension kicks in becuase it needs to go higher for the cable to fit back in?

yeah thats similar to mine but before this you should feel the spring that tensions it all up....
