[Healeys] Fwd: Side shift trans covers

I would not suggest gluing the carpet to the floor. If the carpet ever gets wet it will hold moisture for a long time & promote rusting of the floor. I did add additional thermal insulation (not sound insulation) to the interior, but it is glued to the bottom of the carpets. The carpets are held down with original type fasteners & conform to the floor & tunnel, etc. very well because a professional upholsterer who knew what he was doing fabricated & installed them.

Front piece screws to floor and side of bulkhead, then screw cover down to the floor. I covrred all bits in sound deadening and heat shield. You might want to trim some metal away from top of tranny so it does not rub. I glued carpet to floor and cover as the snaps made it look crappy and bunched up like clothes on the floor.

Trying again, since the original post I have rebuilt the rusted flanges on both sections and they look new now. I have both uncarpeted sections set in place but with the front bellhousing section in place, where it seems to fit best, the hole for the shifter is not centered over the trans. See attached. Will this positioning work ? I can't move the main cover to the left much as it is over the drive shaft hump. Also does the front flange of the trans cover screw  onto the bellhousing cover? I believe cupped trim screws are used for the sides of the bellhsg cover but what is used for the floor flanges, self tapping type? I have two snaps on each side of the man cover for the carpet, is there one or two on the drvshaft tunnel?

I also posted this question awhile ago to another Healey forum (https://www.ahexp.com/phorum/read.php?3,205482 ) worded a little differently but have received no useful responses.

I am about to install my two covers  after first test fitting for a couple welding repairs. My front footwells are newly carpeted and the forward section is lapping over the carpet on the sides, IS This correct?

When I try to fit that first piece alone where it would seem to be the Main cover is too far forward i.e small gap at the drive shaft tunnel. So I am thinking I need to get the big one in place regarding the tunnel and the access holes which will be pulling the front section back where it doesn't look like it would like to be ideally.

Does anyone have any photos of the two sheetmetal covers in place or being installed/removed? Or any other words of wisdom?
