Default 1800S Clutch

Hi
Further to a recent post I'm currently having a local garage replace the clutch on my 1969 1800S (2 litre), but they're reporting difficulty in getting the clutch cable attached as they initially said it not long enough. They took it all apart again and it now transpires that while most of the components are a good match for the old the new clutch housing is slightly 'larger' resulting in a 15mm difference thus making the clutch cable not long enough.
I've suggested they talk to Simon at Brookhouse as he supplied the parts and knows more about it than anyone else, but today they are closed for stocktaking. So I'm just wondering in the meantime (while the car is stuck on the ramp) if anyone has any ideas or experience why this might be the case. Sorry for any lack of detailed info, but this is just as the garage reported.
Thank you

Simon
