I am trying to install my stainless steel fuel lines on my 72 4 and have encountered some strange stuff where the lines exit the tunnel in to the engine compartment. anyone have a pic of how it should be??? this is how mine is.
 Not too sure whats up with the 1/4" steel plate on the clutch cable... Needless to say I have work to do before installing the stainless lines... |

I planned on making my patch out of stainless steel and putting sheet metal screws into the firewall to secure it and just weld the tube back in place in the tunnel before I add the panel on the firewall. Will this work?

QUOTE(slim72914 @ Aug 23 2007, 06:52 AM)  I planned on making my patch out of stainless steel and putting sheet metal screws into the firewall to secure it and just weld the tube back in place in the tunnel before I add the panel on the firewall. Will this work? I would have doubts about this approach. Do you have a welder? A MIG welder? I would stick with CRS. Makes things less complicated. Maybe you can make an extension tube. The clutch tube is 12mm OD. Using a section of pipe with a 12mm ID to couple them together. You still need weld them together. Since they are behind the firewall, not sure how you will do this without cutting the bottom of the tunnel. If all this welding is beyond your shop and skills, I would take it to a body shop and have them make the repairs. Collect come parts to make it easier for the body shop to make a nice repair. Have you looked to see if the front attachment has broken off? Odds are very strong that it has. |
