[Healeys] BJ8 carpet questions --

[Earl Kagna]

A buddy is re-carpeting his BJ8 ('66) - a gold level concours car.  We're 
not completely sure about a couple of things, so we're soliciting the wisdom 
of the list.

1 - was the gearshift turret hole bound as in the earlier cars - doesn't 
seem to matter as the console covers it anyway. 2 - was the half circle 
(sort of) cutout at the base of the handbrake bound - the books seem to be a 
bit ambiguous about this, and it seems that it should be.  And 3 - did any 
cars (BJ8's) ever leave the factory with a flap in the carpet over the 
gearbox oil dipstick rubber plug on the tunnel cover.
