Has anyone seen a diagram as to what the center tunnel is supposed to look like? The clutch tube is pulled through the firewall and laying loose in the tunnel and I'm trying to figure out what to do. I have no clue what it is supposed to look like, so am having a little trouble developing a strategy.

Brazing is not stronger that mig. Brazing is more like soldering - the joint is made of weaker brass and the bond is not very strong either.
Mig is steel all the way through - if done correctly the joint is just as strong as the base metal. The risk of penetration and screwing up the tube is a real concern for an amateur welder, though. Brazing (and ending up with a mechanically strong joint) is not exactly easy, though, either. |
