I remember reading that someone makes a clutch tube repair kit but cant for the life of me remember who. The clutch tube is pulled in on this car and I want to do it now before I get things going too far. Where can I get one? Anybody know?

On a repair like that one, I like using a 1/2" Fender washer with one side cut off to make a sort of D shape.
The flat would mount in the down position (where it would meet the floor seam) You may have to grind some other spots to clear everything, but it works well. I full weld the washer to the car and then tack the tube to the washer until it is a continuous weld. Inserting something into the end of the clutch tube helps prevent the weld from penetrating the tube and causing problems. In my BLOG, I show a plate with a 1/2"diameter hole drilled in it welded onto mine. Good luck. |
