So, the tricky part is: Drilling without damaging the tube. And putting something inside the tube before welding to make sure the weld doesn't penetrate the tube. Right?
So... What about doing the repair without removing the clutch cable? I'm thinking preventative here. Maybe cut a piece of copper tubing that fits snugly inside the clutch tube... slot it lengthwise enough to get it over the cable and slide into the clutch tube, rotated so slot is opposite of weld.... Pull it back out after welding. ??? |
