While doing some other work on the car I had to remove the w/washer bottle so I thought I would post a pic of the firewall/clutch cable brace I made. I know we discussed these in the past but not sure if I ever posted a pic. It is designed to spread the load from the clutch cable off of the firewall and to a stronger part of the chassis. I welded a heavy gauge washer on to the end of a tube (along with another brace at the bottom of the washer, hard to see) and then connected the other end to the wheelwell where the brake booster brace mounts. This is about the strongest part of the body in that area. So now some of the clutch cable force is transferred to the wheelwell which helps prevent firewall flex. Fairly easy to do, hardest part is getting the angle correct so that the washer sits flat against the firewall, but well worth the effort.
