This method appeals to me, especially if the carts on a lift.
Question: How do you know where tout the holes, what do you measure from ? Attached image(s)

Beware of cutting from bottom.
Potential concerns: There are locations where the all tubes (throttle, heater cables, clutch) all run within 2-5 mm of the floor pan. See post #401 http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...5209&st=400 Rear brake line runs though the tunnel Plastic OEM fuel lines (if not updated) -- not only cutting initially but later on for welding up the flap (IMG:style_emoticons/default/yikes.gif) The bottom side is exposed to the elements. pinholes in welds? Use seam sealer. Better to access from dry interior in my opinion. How to locate? Here is tunnel picture -- feel free to measure & scale. Post #322 http://www.914world.com/bbs2/index.php?sho...5209&st=320 Note: in middle of the picture you will see where the brace/bracket on this donor tunnel had torn. Likewise, at front you'll see two small J-hooks that were used to attach the front of the clutch tube back to the tunnel without welding. |

look at the appendix of the "tech tips 700" book
QUOTE(BeemerSteve @ Jan 15 2016, 10:10 AM)  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 |
