Re: Grrr! Clutch cable pulling through bulkhead (RHD)

["Ewan Hopkins" <ewanhopkins@hotmail.com>]

Sorry for the delay - been pretty busy workwise recently.... virtually every 
A1 I've seen has this repair, including every one I've had.  You can get a 
repair plate from any of the UK VW parts suppliers like URO, euro car parts, 
german & swedish, for about a tenner, I think.
The one on my Storm is bolted on - I don't know where it came from as it 
came with the car. I fitted one which comes with a sticky foam backing and 
is shaped to fit over the existing bulkhead profile. The ideal solution 
would probably be to scrape the sticky backing off and weld it on but, if 
you clean-up the bulkhead surface properly, it sticks reasonably well and is 
held in place by the cable anyway.

HTH,

Ewan.
