winner winner!
Clever shot. Like it a lot.
Loving this car. Great job!
Went to pick up a roof rack in Abbotsford this evening around 6 and as I pulled up to the house the clutch cable forces its way through the firewall!!
Me and my 34 month old boy on the otherside of melbourne in dwindling light, I figured it was time to get some epic bush mechanic on..
with only a blade screwdriver and a hacksaw blade I managed to make a retaining plate out of the centre console dial blank, with much difficulty i jammed on my contraption and drove home to west footscray 13 odd km's of inner city suburbs later..
Is there some kind of regular fix for this? I have heard of it happening but unsure of the remedy. Make a larger washer?
excuse the picture quality..

You can buy a re-enforcing plate but most people just weld it up. Very common on Mk1's.
Will this do it?

There's usually a few on UK ebay.

I used a big washer, same as the ones used to reinforce the floor where the seat belts bolt up. The bigger the washer the better to transmit the load to as large an area as possible.
Yeah if you have a look in my 16v thread, my mate made a really big plate and reinforced that whole area. If you can pick up a plate like Pete suggested, that's the easiest though. :)
