Hi Guys,
Bit of an issue - where the bowden tube bracket fits onto the gearbox casing, the top threaded part of the gearbox bit has snapped off, meaning the bracket is now loose. The bottom bolt is ok.
This means, when I sent off, I tend to get the old shuddering clutch syndrome.
To confirm, the bracket is ok, it's the threaded part of the gearbox casing that is snapped.
It's an original early box.
Anyone else had this problem? I believe welding will be an issue as it's an alloy case.
If it can't be welded, I presume I'm looking at a new box? Although might try some industrial strength resin as a last resort.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers.
