Pics attached of the clutch cable tube / conduit that 'let go' in my 73 2.0.

Note that I have already pulled the tube back into it's proper position. Before that, the end of the tube had pulled through the firewall (aprox. 1") and only the very end of it was visible.

For reference, the first pic is of a 914 center tunnel as seen from underneath:

"How"? Because the Teclamit lines only break from abuse. The ONLY lines I've seen break in 34 years of working on 914s (and there's always one or 2 in my shop) were the 2 I burned through with an acetylene torch. true, they "can" fail outside the body where they go to the side, but that's just not a common problem, IME.
