Shimano cable cutters (bicycle repair parts) come in very handy for dealing with frayed cable ends. I am not a fan of the cable setup, but it should hopefully work. I did use setscrews from both sides of the cable clamps. They are drilled and tapped straight thru, but only come with 1 setscrew per end. The setscrew is supposed to mash the cable down to secure it. I don't like it much at all. Seen bicycle brakes like that and they always manage to slip.
Cable was then run through the firewall and attached to the gas pedal. I had my wife press the pedal to check travel and to make sure I cut the cable to the right length. If I cut it too short, I'd be screwed..
And, yes, the brake pedal is A LOT wider than stock
