Decided to use aircraft safety wire instead of welding…pictures detail the repair. The repair itself took about 30 min.

Perhaps you can tell me how that will stop the longitudinal movement? You know, the movement that causes the rear weld to break? Excuse my Krusty welcome, but that's just me, the guy with an attitude. My experience (34 years of teeners) tells me your efforts, clever as they may be, aren't gonna prevent further damage. Nice pix, though. The Cap'n

Nice pix, though. The Cap'n I worried about that as well. The middle weld and the firewall weld on my clutch tube seem to be good as there was no longitudinal movement with the tube. When I installed the safety wire I secured one strand in front of the forward bracket and one strand aft of the bracket thinking that this would also prevent longitudinal movement. About 1000 miles so far and the clutch performs wonderfully, but you may be right, I'll keep you posted |
