Hopefully that will work for you. I had a Steeda quadrant and the Fiore Adjuster, and I had to replace the Steeda with a Fiore because I didn't have enough adjustment in the cable with the Steeda. The hook on the Fiore quadrant is closer to the firewall than the hook on the steeda, which gives you more room to adjust.

Not sure. All of them have to be anchored to the firewall somehow. Some "may" use the factory screw holes. I went with the Fiore because it's by far the best design on the market right now.

Unlike the factory adjustable quadrant, the aftermarket ones are not adjustable at all. That's why you need a firewall adjuster. This allows you to periodically adjust the cable due to either cable stretching or clutch wear.
