I would still like to see images or pictures of later year set ups, 87-90, mainly to see where the other braces terminated to the body - structure.
Mine is definitely horizontal if there was any doubt, so is the single left side brace.
In my case, stop drilling the cracks may be useless, and may cause more problems, as the main crack is an oval that has the exact same shape and size as the clutch MC flange. I later noticed it has reached 50% of flange circumference now. The other two cracks radiate out from the mounting bolt hole, one vertical two horizontal with about a 30 degree spread between them and they terminate at the brake booster reinforcing plate.
I need to find me a midget helper, LOL, but alas I live in Texas where everything is supersized, except the work area under the dash :smsoap:
I like the sound of rivets, but not sure I can get access to all the spots, and I would need plates on both sides from what I am seeing. Looks like I need to focus on adding a brace first to the right side first (passenger side bolt), or even extra braces with a plate (with 1-2 extra bolts and brackets?), and sealant.
