Out for a drive in the sun. Top off. Zipping along. Shift gears. POP (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/headbang.gif)
Who wants to help fix a broken clutch tube? Thank goodness I had a pair of vice grips in the car so I could get home. |

This hardware store clamp and angle iron worked for about 8 years until I finally pulled the engine and fixed properly.
 Here's the permanent repair with 2 layers of 14 ga steel.  |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) May have to do that as my wife has so far been supportive but draws the line at me buying a welder. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) Ok so there are a few unexplained fires in my history but I don't think that they are relevant. |

QUOTE(JawjaPorsche @ Mar 20 2014, 05:33 PM) My wife says welders are like pickup trucks. You don't need to own one all the time, but it is good to know some on who has a truck just in case. Faulty logic if you ask me! I have always owned a pickup so I should have a welder also |
