I have a 1970 914-4 that has a cracked firewall due to a loose clutch tube. Should I welded in a reinforcement plate (16 ga. steel) around the clutch tube hole?
If I switch engines to a six - will the reinforcement interfer with a firewall motor mount? |

The cracks go between the fuel line and the electrical line grommets. I don't think there is any way to make a heat shield for the fuel lines, so I'm going to pull them out.
I will MIG weld the cracks, but I'm thinking of re-brazing the clutch tube. (I'd rather have the braze break and leave the tubing intact.) Has anyone come across a 914 that didn't have the clutch tube bracket at the front of the center tunnel? |
