My clutch tube looked bad at the firewall...
...but the tube was secure in the tunnel. So I figured I might get away with some JB Weld plugging the firewall......BZZZZT!....WROOOOOONG!....Memories from 42 years ago of my never to be forgotten drill instructor hollering, "WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU ARE DOING, ASSBAG??!!!" caused me to assume the position and begin pushups forever. Once I recovered my confidence I thought I'd offer morning donuts, or afternoon BBQ and several 914 experts would show up with welders and I'd be able to take a drive to happy hour at Sonic drive-in for half price burgers after 5PM. Then I remembered that this is Oklahoma and it would take more than donuts and beer to lure the experts from the coast to bail me out. So I came up with this little gem... |

(IMG:style_emoticons/default/agree.gif) I don't know whether to congratuate you guys for keeping cars on the road by any means necessary or to give you a (IMG:style_emoticons/default/first.gif) CSOB award. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/happy11.gif) Put some duct tape or electrical tape over that parking brake cable with the exposed inner core. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/shades.gif) That metal lug that is bent up to support (and chafing) the parking brake cable could use a $1.22 P-clip too! But I've got to say - good job and great creativity aimed at keeping metal on the road! (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smilie_pokal.gif) |
