Does any one in the Philly region have a portable MIG welder, and the skills to use it? My BIL's cars clutch master cyl braket broke off. Its under the steering column, and a nightmare to replace, but it looks welding it where it is, is possible. I'll do all the prep work, and I will let my BIL negotiate the payment. I'm looking to get this done over new-years weekend. PM me if interested. Thanks .

Location? Your profile says Sharon Hill but dunno if BIL is there too. Rob Leone who did our roll cage is up north of Philly a bit, he occasionally lurks these boards and is an excellent welder. I'm not too far from Sharon Hill (other side of the Commodore Barry bridge) I have the equipment but I'm not sure of my availability that weekend, I might be able to scoot over sunday morning if the wife doesn't have other plans for me.

In reply to JThw8: The car is at my place, just south of Philly, 5 mins from the airport. I can be flexable about when the work is done, but that sunday morning would be bad for me, maybe ok for the BIL though.

Ok you're about 30 minutes from me then. Lemme know what times/days do work for you and I'll see what I can work out with the wife.

Feel free to shoot me an email jim at misfittoysracing dot com

I'm not the greatest welder in the world, but the Wartburg hasn't fallen apart yet so I should be able to make it work.

Oh and if you can shoot over a pic of what needs to be done it might help me to understand :) Doesnt sound like it will take very long.
