Anyone in the greater bay area with a welder?
(IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) 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. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/driving.gif) |

Hmmm, lets see: - A sturdy clamp and two spot welds or - Weeks of work and lots of $$$ for parts to convert to a hydraulic clutch setup (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) And a nice smooth clutch with no constant adjustment (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) |
