Pelican Parts claims to be out of stock of this little part that holds the throwout arm onto the ball on the transmission. This (and the cup bushing) are the last pieces I need to get my engine and transmission put together and into the car. I was hoping to have it finished this weekend...
Anyway, does anyone have a good one (not cracked) they are willing to part with (in the LA area)? Alternatively I was thinking of making something as a substitute. The OEM piece is just a piece of formed steel sheet with a nut welded on. I was thinking that with some effort I could make something out of solid steel, or maybe even aluminum. Any ideas here on what would work? The OEM piece doesn't seem to be really well made, and it seems that a solid plate of metal woudl work better. -Tony |

A clube member (Thomas) gave me one of the clips today. After I got it home and cleaned off it was cracked in the EXACT same spot. I have a feeling that like the bushing, this part is probably broken in pretty much every 914 thats seen much time on the road.
So I decided to make one from a plate of aluminum. Its much much thicker than the formed steel pieces, but it is aluminum, so I'm not erally sure how long it will last. -Tony Attached thumbnail(s)
