i meant to put this up years ago, i had huge problems with cables and pedals on my boxer.
first piece of advice, both types of cable work fine. the long one back of the engine and under the arm, the short one goes out over the engine and on top of the arm
the cause of my problems was a fractured bulkhead!!! hidden behind all the wadding
....and yes it takes more like 10 minutes to replace the pedal
