Never thought I'd say this but I'm glad it happened. I'd been adjusting the cable tension on the V8 914 thinking the new cable was kaput but I felt it in the pedal today for the first time. It's a piece of cake repair compared to some other things I've been wrestling with. Wish @cuddy_k was still in this neck of the woods; I'd video the repair. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/sad.gif)

Great pic Jeff. I just got it back together. I was wrong on two accounts. #1) What I thought to be the front weld breaking loose was actually the clip that holds the clevis to the clutch pedal cam. It rotated and was contacting the speedo cable. #2) The front and rear weld joints had been repaired previously but the middle one broke loose allowing the tube to flex quite a bit from right to left when the pedal was depressed. I read somewhere that the early model had a different center brace. Not much meat there so it was bound to wear out after 49 years.
