Clutch hole in firewall questions.

[93 LX]

I have an issue with the clutch hole in the firewall is bending. The issue started with the clutch cable some how came in contact with the hole. I was using aftermarket cables and a cheap firewall adjustor and quad. I switch to the MM kit and the clutch is much smoother.

Anyway the adjuster is not tilted towards the engine so I know the fiewall is bending again.

Some ideas I had to solve this are as follows.

1. Make a 1/4" steel plate that would fit over the hole and roughly 1/2" oversized. It looks like a 2" square plate would work. I would need a place who could machine one for me and Iwould also need the diameter of the firewall hole.

2. Would be to bend the hole back in to shape and weld the hole using a mig. Maybe a muffler shop can do this?

Any other options would be great too.

Thanks

Can someone who is doing a clutch cable measure the hole?

Have you ever seen this type of firewall adjuster? Look toward the bottom of the page in the middle. This type has a block that distributes the tension over a larger area of the firewall.

Thats exactly what I am looking for. Although i could not find the item on their site I did send them email requesting information on pricing and ordering.

I believe Walt was the guy I used to deal with there. Good outfit. Call and ask for him and he'll take good care of you.
