dozer. you have a broken clutch bracket.. correct?

the photo above was a broken bracket, but the circle was in the wrong place.

GOT IT FIXED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


we forgot to tighten the nuts last, thus the reason there was no there was no pressure to bring the clutch back out...but we did mess up the sensor to start the car when pushin the clutch down, i assume the heat from the welding fcked it up, but RENESIS SE3P found a way around that, now i dont have to push the clutch down to start my car...W00T W00T!!!!!!!!!!!

So, basically, the clutch switch is damaged due to the heat from welding, there are a bunch of melted pieces around it. I took the connector off, took a wire, and plugged it in. Now he don't have to buy a new switch and he can start the car JDM style yo!
