[6pack] Tranny tunnel side cover

[Bob Danielson]

Dave,
Can you just cut the hole in the Poly Tunnel and then use some metal
flashing as a cover and use self tapping screws to hold it in place.
Or.....just use heavy duty Velcro to secure it. The flashing is thin enough
to mold to the tunnel shape. Your padding and rug will also help hold it all
in place. Go cruise the aisles of Lowes or HD.....I pick up some off-beat
ideas just looking at the stuff that's available.

Subject: [6pack] Tranny tunnel side cover

Hey folks;

I'm about to install new carpeting over my molded plastic tranny cover and I
realize I haven't provided myself any easy access to the right angle speedo
or the A-overdrive service access points.  In the Roger Williams "How to
Restore....." book, page 105 shows  a cover plate screwed to the side of the
tranny tunnel for easier A-overdrive/speedo drive access. I have tried to
fashion my own cover plate, realizing it doesn't need to be anything fancy
-- but, it ought to fit well enough to screw to the tranny cover. Sigh.... I
am no metalsmith. Anyone know where such a cover plate can be had?
Certainly, the Big 3 have nothing to offer. Anyone able to offer
assistance/advice?

Thanks for any help,

Cheers,
