It’s good to see the board alive and well, I've keep track but haven’t posted in a long time. The reason that I’m back is that a reoccurring pain in the neck problem came back and the 914 has been parked since (6 months). The problem is a broken clutch tube. Attached is a picture of the problem when it first occurred……….which I thought was permanently fixed with a plug weld, but I guess I thought wrong because it’s broken again. The plug weld lasted 4 years, has anyone got any ideas on a permanent fix for this problem

This was my 6 when I fixed the lose tube. The drill is a heat sink so it does not burn through.

Bob B (IMG:style_emoticons/default/welder.gif) That's what I did to mine just as a preventative measure while I had the tunnel open for floor replacement. Tube was still in place, but the brazing was starting to crack. It was only a matter of time. At the firewall end, I fashioned a bracket that wrapped around, and was welded to the tube and then plug welded to the floor, in addition to welding the tube to the firewall. |
