Have some movement @ the front securing bracket ,is that normal or is it starting to break ?
Reason I ask is I have had to adjust my new clutch several times,maybe my new cable is continually stretching as I have set to correct freeplay on every occasion. Had my gearbox out to replace input shaft seal and besides minor oil contamination (cleaned up ) it was well....a new clutch. TIA |

The front should not move at all. It is just a small amount weld attaching the tube to the body up front.
This is a problem on 914s and there are lots of write-ups on it. It comes lose at every place it is welded to the car. Not so easy to fix completely without having the metal on the bottom opened up. Lots of creative temporary fixes but you need to look up old postings and see the ways people have done this over the years. You will see u bolts jobs, welding part of it. Remember that your gas runs through the center tube as well as wiring and more. When you see some pictures you will have a much better idea of what you have to do.
