If the one you order come and works right, make sure you order a spare next time you order parts; and keep the extra one in the bus, no bus should ever leave home with out at least three tings; Fire extinguisher, spare throttle cable and spare clutch cable, it is not question of if you will need them but just when :0)
PS an OEM manual and the tools you’ll need to replace the cables would help too ;0)

From my experience, I suggest an extra clevis pin, or at least a small bolt and a nylock nut to get you going if the pin breaks and you lose the clutch.
