   The two  forward tenax studs for the armrest are special in that they screw
into the gearbox cover carpet, and remain floating in the carpet, held there
with a  base somewhat like the female tenax base with the screw on disc that
bites
   into the material. The gearbox cover carpet in turn is snapped onto the
   cover with ring type carpet snaps, holding it down securely and tight. Male
carpet snaps on the gearbox cover are fastened there with machine screws. "

  New questions:
  The screws holding the snaps to the floor are self tapping #6 screws.
   A. yes.

  Rich ,
  1.) In regard to the snaps on the gearbox cover, Are there 4 of them, one at
each of the corners.
  A. I seem to recall about 4 down each side, about 3" up from the floor. If
you have an original gearbox cover you should be able to find the holes for
the original snaps.

  2.) Are there snaps on the Armacord that runs beneath the seats?
  A. There is (usually but not always) one ring stye carpet snap located in
the portion of Armacord that goes between the seat rails, about 1 1/2" back
from the leading edge and about 2" outboard from the inner seat rail.

  3.) does one cut holes in the jute so the snaps will secure to the floor? or
do the snap ring tangs go through both jute and carpet?
  A. Cut only about 3/16" diameter clearance holes in the jute so the self
tapping screw does not wind up the jute fibres. The male snap will be fastened
on top of the jute, ready to receive the female carpet snap situated on the
under side of the carpet.

  4.) Does the ffoward part of the Transmission tunnel with the flat lip
actually screw on to the firewall plate? and if so...how may screws does it
take?
  A. I believe the vinyl covered forward lip of the trans tunnel just fits
tightly to the carpeted bulkhead and is fastened only along the floor
flanges.
