Clutch cable help

Can anybody tell me what the best clutch pedal to cable link is? I've made a metal bracket which bolts to the bottom of the pedal and the clutch cable nipple goes through it, but the last time out at cadwell the nipple pulled through. What should I use and where do I get it?
Thanks

Ive used a Cortina Mk3 cable as it has a nice eye on one end that i just made a little bush for that allowes it to spin freely when bolted to the pedal.
At the blade end, ive turned my clutch lever 180 degrees and re welded it back on, then tacked a solderless nipple into the hole where it normlly ends, then just cut the end of the cable to length and tighten the bolt up.
Suppose it may cause the same problem you have now, but atleast its more accessable.

You can buy a ready made one from MNR, perfect for the job.
