[DeTomaso] Broken Clutch Lever

[Kirby Schrader]

Art,

No, you're not the first.... I broke mine also. Just as I was  
entering the Fun Ford Weekend in Houston to show my car many years ago.

Had it welded by a competent welder (he built tube frame race cars)  
and it's been fine for over 12 years. He clamped the two pieces  
around a bolt of the right diameter before he welded it to make sure  
it stayed aligned.

FWIW,

Kirby
