I have two questions on how best to make repairs to my 75 Malaga Red project...
1st is the repair of the trunk release cable tube... has anyone "spliced" a piece of tubing in, or is it best to replace the whole thing from a donor car (have not yet checked to see if I have a good one on my donor)  Second question is about the trunk hinges - just noticed that they have developed cracks...can I run a weld bead along the cracks to fix, or should I remove and replace?  As always - thanks for input...and for keeping me inspired to get this car restored. |

cut the cable tube back to where you have clean material, then slide a piece of slightly larger i.d. ( press fit or slip fit )over it and tack in place. Try NAPA in the brake line section for that.
the cracks can be welded up, just keep the amps on the low side so you don't blow through. Replacing would be ideal though |
