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, if done correctly, can easily be stronger when tubing or sheet metal are involved. The main reason is surface area. A small weld with heat stresses at the edges can crack or tear if bending or flexing occur, whereas a brazed joint spreads filler around a relatively large area, minimizing stresses. I would suggest practicing with test samples before tackling the real thing if you don't have much experience brazing. for the bracket in the tunnel it might be worth brazing the bracket to the tube, then mig welding the bracket to the chassis.
One potential downside to using an open flame is the proximity of fuel lines. This should be done while the fuel lines are removed. :kaboom: (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) |
