Anyone in the greater bay area with a welder?

My clutch tube broke lose (again) this morning with a loud bang as i was shifting into 4th getting on the freeway.

The rear seems OK but the front part is just flopping in the wind.

Looks like it's time to weld in a stronger clamp in the front, my last patch lasted some 15 years but obviously wasn't quite strong enough.

Hi Andy - Do you need to borrow a welder? I have a MIG that works on 220 or 110.
You're welcome to it.
Or if you can get the car to my place, we can do the repair here.
PM me if I can help.

@tygaboy Thanks for the offer!

I'm in the process of rewiring my entire house, so i'd rather not try to burn it down by running a welder on 65 year old wiring with no ground.

If i can temporarily rig it up i should be able to make it to your place, i'll do some fiddling with it this weekend and let you know.
