For more years than I care to remember I have wrestled with poor quality parts and my many purchases of clutch cables (Johnson's et al ), HB10AS's (variants included) and a second G94 (never bothered to return it)..... yes I have a spare and incompatible G94. At least one cable (or was it two?) was used on my new Comet, perhaps in consolation.
I now have a perfect pair of clutch cable and abutment parts that interface. Thanks Russell and what good quality (mmmm must ask for a discount for this advert)
There are many dodgy bits out there that are totally incompatible so my advice is always consult knowledgeable and technically intelligent suppliers and colleagues within your local sections.....this old boy is still learning. I hate spending money and investing in my rejected spares box.
Today I'm still wrestling with C30 cups and C29 springs to get my plates lifting evenly...... most people have given up and bought modern clutches!! I positively refuse!!! I have two sets of each part plus a third set of springs and both parts all have wide dimesional variations.....coupled to my various clutch plate purchases over the years nothing really works properly on my vincent clutch. ....grrhhh!
Then, to compound my potential problems, a well known local member reminded me that there are six ways of grease or oil leaking and ruining your clutch... and I only adressed four of them.... so I now have a major dismantling job.
Can anyone name the six ways....clue is they are not all in KTB etc.

PS The drawings project and a technical help section in MPH would be really useful to help solve my problems but the many commercial agendas, lack of VOC volunteer technical advice etc., not aided by VOC declared secrecy of drawings prohibit such open dialogue on drawing dimensions and tolerances..
PPS Should I give up on Vincent clutches and buy a modern one..... yes it would have been cheaper but I would like to make the original work in a similar manner to that on my local mate's bike.
