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.
