if your speedo and clutch works how you have it now then leave it as is

Speedo is not right as its jumping that's tied to bracket on rear inlet manifold keep off the exhaust 4-1
It's mainly couch cable it keeps going in silly places makes clutch bit heavy. I have even changed cable for 45' angle one instead of straight which was fitted. Still no better
It mainly goes down side of brake marster cyn and dizzy cap I don't want put any tension on cable in case burns out clutch

speedo cable probably wants replacing then, i ran mine behind the engine no problem
clutch cable i ran mine round the front of the engine and used a mk2 cable bracket to keep it still:
others have cable tied the cable to the master cylinder to keep it still

sorry the cables werre both mk1, its just the cable steady bracket I used off a MK2. though this isnt clear in the photo
quite hard to find these days, you need the manually adjustible cable type ideally as the self-adjusting bracket is too big. but you can cable tie the clutch cable to it though, maybe this piccy will help show what I mean:
for the speedo cable you might get away with oiling it up, on my 1.6 it was jumpy becasue all the outer cover had cracked and dried it out. so what i did was clean up any loose ends of cable then gave it a couple sprays of oil where the cable was exposed to the elements. left it a bit then dried off all the excess oil and covered all the exposed areas with hevy duty duct tape. after a couple days the speedo was smooth as silk once again
