My Z is dead 60 miles after a clutch replacement

The extra weight of the alloy housing and lines should have had a support bracket.

Note if you can get the car towed to a good welding shop, any certified welder shold be able to heliarc the pipe back in place and it looks like there is enough room to get in there with a welder and you won't hurt it any more than it already is.

You should be able to get it done for around $200 or less.
He's not the first Z to have an oil cooler installed this way. Do you think we will be seeing more failures like this?
