Yeah I will see how it welds up. I think it was the lack of back bracing of the housing at that point. If you look at the front bracing going to the point of mounting you can see its all about the front.Quote:

Yeah I don't think I want to know!! I fitted a new clutch to this car when I first bought it for the RWC in 2003 and have flogged the clutch ever since! Astounded it is still strong! Touch wood damn it!!Quote:

Geeze mate its never ending.. but a good find.. better to find it now than when you need it..
Should repair up nice.. seems a bit of a design flaw how there are no gessets or sniffers on that point.. anyway you'll get it sorted..
