You should have room to fit a length of wire/rod using an electrical connnector block, or just the brass part (tube with two screws). If you can't do this at the pedal end, maybe you can tie that end and extend the engine end. Good luck. The new cable will go through from the front no problem - grease it as you feed it in so you avoid getting it on the seats etc. Don't try to pull it through with the old one. If it sticks at all, it will be where the outer flexible tube fits at the rear of the frame or where it sits in the engine front cover plate. Remember to leave a bit of spare carb throttle movement so the cable isn't strained when the pedal is 'to the metal'. Dave.
