May be worth making your own clutch cable for a project like this.
There are also many companies that make bespoke clutch cables, all for well under £100.

I have heard that the Saabs use a hydraulic clutch.

With than in view, you could try fitting a Vectra-B hydraulic clutch set-up.

The B204 engine that comes with the saab box FM55-501 uses cable and would be a good strong box also easier to fit. Should all go strsight in cav from what ive read before.

Where is the actuator? What kind of setup does it use?
