Oh that it was really overdue to exchange the bell crank on my car

My parents did 280000km (roughly 180000 miles) before I started the restoration back in 2020.
It was stripped C6622 done to the chassis, frame was repaired and every component overhauled.
The new clutch failed after 8800km (actually just the friction disc had glazing)
In my opinion shorting the clutch cable is not the right solution if the bell crank suffers from fatigue.
The cable of course might also be an issue - I have replaced mine but my tests with newly built bell crank show that the old cable does not stretch under load.
