its just a metal plate you slip the clutch cable thru, GSF sell the part I think.  No welding required either, it just sticks to the bulkhead, robs yr uncle :)

Had the same happen to me, comman problem on mk1s. my local mechanic welded me a plate in to solve the problem 40 squid total. As mentioned above repair plates are availible u can usually find them on evil bay, just do a search for golf gti parts..
