That's a fairly common weak point where all the cable tension comes to roost, and if that weld breaks you lose your clutch. It may be helpful to slip a nicely-fitting washer over the tube and up against the bulkhead and then weld the tube to the washer and the washer to the bulkhead. That will help make this connection as strong as possible. Otherwise this looks really nice. ;-) -- ******************************* Jim Adney, jadney@vwtype3.org Madison, Wisconsin, USA ******************************* ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ List info at http://www.vwtype3.org/list | mailto:gregm@vwtype3.org ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
