<p>On my TR-4 after breaking off the threaded portion a 2nd time
(welded it back on the 1st time), I ground the end down to a
larger bolt size and threaded it so it would be more robust.
Drilled and re-threaded the shift knob too. Just a thought.</p>

As to the Speedo, i typically use a plastic or rubber cap,
similar to what you might find as a pipe cap on a copper
pipe, or similar to the image attached, and a hose clamp.
The only issue is depending on where your exhaust some may
melt.

After having my shift knob, break off in my hand at
the threaded portion at Watkins Glen race two weeks
ago, I was working on my car to replace the lever this
morning.
<div><br>
</div>
<div>The first thing I encountered was the top Bayonet
mount is broken off on one side so only one side is
engaging. Anyone have a replacement for those,
especially in Eastern Mass)? Moss didn’t seem to
have in stock.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div> While I was checking and then adding gear oil, I
finished up and I looked under my car, only to see a
puddle growing under it from where it was leaking
somewhere on the tail piece of the transmission. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>After taking off the tunnel cover, I noticed it
seems to be coming out of the speedometer cable
mounting hole. With a race car not having a
speedometer I’m wondering was there a plug there?
That has now vacated the premises. I can’t imagine
it was run open like that. Trying to get this ready
for HRG Thompson this Friday if I can. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks for the help. </div>
