Look right between the brake and clutch master cylinders, then follow the piece of pipe all the way to the radiator support. I bet it works, but I bet the bracket the member on here (freebird01?) makes works a lot better!

works really well right until you hit something hard head-on

then you get a stick of EMT coming through the dash to say "hi"

In a pinch I can see that being pretty handy, but wouldn't rely on it as a long term fix.

wood broom handle would be better and only as a temp "i got to get to work" sorta fix... at least with a broom handle it would shatter instead of ram through the firewall at your leg or worse :eek::eek:
