Afternoon! Whilst tinkering with the engine out, I've noticed the clutch conduit ( the long metal one the length of the van) is pretty manky and a bracket welded on to the 'axle' ( not sure what it's called) at the back has rotted and snapped off. Is it anything other than a piece of metal tube I can replace, or is is something fancy? Thanks for your help! Secondtimearound
It's just a metal tube. I replaced both brake cable guide tubes on ours so it'd be a similar job of unpicking the tack welds and threading another piece through. I fitted stainless so I shouldn't have to replace it ever again.
Faab! Thanks for the quick reply! New tube ordered today. QUOTE="JamesLey, post: 1173813, member: 3007"]It's just a metal tube.

I can't remember if one end of the clutch cable tube is slightly flared. The brake cable guides were and I replicated that by using a suitably sized hammer from my panel beating set (there's a pic somewhere in my resto thread). [edit] @secondtimearound there is a flared end near the cab on this tube too. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
