Failed Weld on Clutch Pedal

[sundayjumper]

I've Googled and not found anything so maybe this is a freak occurrence, or maybe it just doesn't get noticed !

While I was upside down in the footwell last night replacing the courtesy light bulb I noticed a rust-coloured patch on the clutch pedal. It's where there is a pin attached to the arm, that the master cylinder plunger attaches to. The pin is attached with THE SMALLEST WELD EVAR and has consequently come loose. It's not going to fall out, but it does mean there's a certain amount of free play in the pedal before anything happens.

Apologies for the bad pic, it's quite tricky to get a clear shot of it.



Is it going to be a massive nightmare to get the pedal out to re-weld it ? I don't want to try welding it in-situ. Any other bright ideas ?

you might be able to epoxy it in place?

Now there's a sentence you don't hear that often.

I'm no expert but a decent MIG welder could fix it with a couple zaps. Perhaps line everything around it with damp towels?
