Default Clutch- what else?

Morning all

Will be getting the clutch replaced in my EF XR6 as soon as the kit arrives. Besides a new clutch cable, what else should i get replaced while the box is out?

cheers
Tim

EF/EL does have that little damper thing, replace it as it makes pedal feel a lot better.

I wouldn't bother with rear welsh plug with those K's. Spigot bearing, thrust bearing and the damper thing which I think is called a clutch stove. Maybe replace the Clevis and bushes that join the cable to the pedal, they are cheap.
