[Healeys] Tunnel cover nuts and bolts.

[Jean Caron]

Normally the tunnel cover is held by screws, Phillips head. However over the years of taking off the cover and putting it back on, these will get loose. What I have done is use some “T” nuts in place of the holes for the screws and I use machined screws to hold down the tunnel and no matter how many times in remove it or put it back on, the “T” nuts do not move and hold everything tight.

Subject: [Healeys] Tunnel cover nuts and bolts.

Dealing with my overdrive has led me to remove the tunnel cover on my car which is a MkII BT7 centre-shift.
The tunnel cover is held down by nuts that tighten down onto bolts which come up through the floor pan. A couple of mine are broken off and the rest are a pretty average dog’s breakfast. I haven’t looked underneath but I’d guess that the bolts are spot-welded to the floor pan from underneath???
Am I right?
And what size are these nuts and bolts?
Thanks,
Simon
