I welded all the clutch tube breakage, then I added this extra re-enforcement to the center clutch tube bracket. That should hold it.

POR-15 Applied. Is there anything else I should do in the tunnel before I close it up?

i keep thinking i should use some metal lines for the tank...hm. I dont really want to get into that though. 3m makes some spray in rust preventative stuff for enclosed areas, i sprayed the crap out of mine before i welded it up, then sprayed back the other direction from the hole in the interior under the consule.....Next one i build im dipping the whole car in rubber or something.

Metal lines were easy. I got two 60" 3/8 "easy-bend" brake lines and the fittings to convert the ends to hose barbs at NAPA for about $30. I had to drill larger holes in the rear firewall for the connectors to slide through. It took me less than 1 hour to install them (Of course half of my tunnel was already open) (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/biggrin.gif)

(IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) Looks like the rust on my -6 #269.... Not Pretty.
My rust or ation thread http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?act=...2&t=5574&hl=269 I would change one thing though... Go from hose barbs to -4 or -6 AN hydrauilic fittings. More expensive than barbs and clamps, but will last a lifetime..... Only want to fix my baby once.... best of luck (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/cool_shades.gif) |

mr914, If you are ready to get started on the repair I would recommend you you start a thread on here with some pics. Even if noone else here cares I find it really motivating to make progress so I can post some pics. Maybe I am just strange (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/screwy.gif)
I hope to be able to afford AN hardware someday (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/rolleyes.gif) |

schweet! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/smilie_pokal.gif) most people don't even know it's there. if the tube breaks off, it'll slide out from under the bracket and hit the shift rod (or worse). good idea to reinforce it .... nice work!

Now that's a view of the center tunnel you don't see too often! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/huh.gif)
Looks like you're doing one hell of a job! (IMG:http://www.914world.com/bbs2/html/emoticons/pray.gif) Makes me think that there's hope for the '75 rusting away in my backyard. |
