Did a little reading while I waited.... #3 and #4 must be in the same injection group. Nome of that fancy SI shit.

Got my N2O setup!!!!! Just kidding... Just kegging some brown ale. I did get my guibo and master cylinder rebuild kit today though. Right now it's raining like a bitch. E30 is under the covers. Install stuff next weekend.

So I broke off the lower bracket for the accelerator pedal. It was spot welded in place and I bumped it a bit too hard. What now?? Can I clean up the area and JB weld it? Drill holes in the bracket and tack weld it?

If spot weld is properly fused together it doesn't brake easily and often the sheet metal will rather tear than break the weld. (from my experience of taking the body apart) If you have welding equipment then drilling holes to the part and plug welding it back would be the safest bet. If you do weld, remove all the original sealer from the area well because the original PVC undercoating forms acid when burning and will cause the parts to rust quickly unless it's removed before welding. By the way, where was that part sitting? It seems unfamiliar.
Kind of hard to see in this picture, but you can see the mating bracket (just to the left under the steering column) that I didn't break. It holds the accelerator pedal linkage to the floor.
I did end up drilling a couple holes and removing the coating to a bear surface. I've got a wire feed welder so I'm going to tack it back into place tonight. I am a little concerned about the sparks lighting something up inside, but I'll pull back the carpet and have water ready.
Going back to my guibo and clutch master cylinder parts being wrong. I realized I made the mistake on the guibo. Needed the ~110mm diameter, bought the ~135mm. As for the mast cylinder repair kit, I have no idea what I received. Didn't look anything like the orings/plunger inside if my cylinder.
Sending everything back to ECS today. Ordered the correct guibo and a full master cylinder replacement from rmeuro (recommended by another member) apparently the parts will be here today!

Well... The correct parts came in today along with some others. Guibo was correct size. The new/rebuild clutch master cylinder matched up, and I bought a center driveshaft support bearing assembly. Clutch master installed, but no one around to help bleed to system.... Maybe the wife can be a pedal pusher when she gets home.

Ain't too pretty, but I got the accelerator bracket welded back in place. Couldn't see shit with the torch head in there. I used a rare earth magnet to hold the bracket in place while I tacked. I will most likely clean and coat with JB weld just to seal everything up.

So this guy has the wheels I need..... And the 02 I need as well. See it everyday out in the elements. Sigh....
Anyways. Got my center bearing support installed in the driveshaft. Yes it's a Uro and yes I realize now the quality. But if it can get me to the smog shop and back, I'm good.

I cannot get the damn driveshaft in! I've got it collapsed as much as I can and in fact I'm worried it is stuck because I really had to force it. That center support post of the transmission will not feed into the center bushing. It's like the approach angle is too steep but I don't know how else to get it past the guibo studs. Taking a break to cool down
