But they only come in chrome. Then I'd have to swap out the right side
master cylinder for a shiney one in order to preserve the balance and
symmetry of my universe. Only an obsessive-compulsive, anal retentive would
do something like that ! <sfsf>

Besides, if cables are good enough to hold up the Brooklyn Bridge (which I
hear Kickstart's still trying to sell) they oughta be good enough for my
clutch.
