Quick question.
The tube for the clutch cable. Can anyone share the exact route. From the rear I am OK but where should it exit at the front?

A picture:
The is from front to back (right hand drive van) so electric cables on the left?

From the rear.

Clutch cable tube in this picture is put in roughly and currently in the centre - I think it should be over the the left (looking from the front)?.
 
To resurrect this question—should the clutch cable run through the front beam, or above it? I've got a sneaky feeling mine was pushed above the beam by a P.O. to avoid having to detach it to remove the beam, but I don't know for sure.

Mine only had the handbrake cables running through the beam:

Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
 
Brilliant thank you, I will install a fresh cable in the correct route!
 
So I've taken a closer look at the underside this weekend prior to refitting the beam, and it appears that my clutch cable routes above the beam via this stock-looking bracket:

What's going on here, is this a customisation that I should revert, or, is it standard for my 1971 bus?
