I have the daunting job of clearing out my interior and cutting my tunnel open to repair the clutch tube. Does anyone have tips on doing this job? Do the fuel lines need to be taken out? Humm.......maybe I should if they're still plastic.
I appreciate all your wisdom as I'm trying to gain some on my own. Thanks!! Steve |

I have fixed them with a sheet metal screw and a conduit clamp as a temp......that lasted over 10yrs without an issue.

Second that, here's mine, i did a little blacksmithing on the conduit clamp to get the correct radius size, my 3/8 socket extension has just the right radius, for an anvil That's what I'm looking to do and it looks like it'd be easy to do without welding. But first I have to open it up to make my assessment of the problem. Thanks for the visual. |

What did you use to attach the clamp to the wall...sheet metal screw or nut and bolt?...what sizes...just want o know as much as possible before purchasing the bits. |

Well, my 3/8" extension measures .365" diameter, so guess the conduit clamp was for 3/8 tubing. I used a 1/4" bolt & nut. |
