When I installed the carpet on my BJ8 tunnel, I found that it bunched up in some places but fit much better smoother I covered the top side of the fiberglass tunnel with 1/4" mylar-faced bubble wrap insulation like I put on the underside. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#002060'>The first thing I did to locate the carpet was to cut a small hole just big enough for the gearshift to pass through. This allowed an initial positioning of the carpet on the tunnel with enough margin for trimming the hole so that the carpet covered the bellhousing hump. Once this was done, I cut a slit fore-and-aft from the front and rear edges of the hole to allow the carpet to sit down on the gearshift hump. This is trial and error to get the length of the slits long enough but not too long. Since the slits were to be covered by the console, I left them as they were but as I recall I did trim the areas of carpet around the gearshift. <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#002060'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#002060'>Steve Byers</span><span style='color:#002060'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#002060'>HBJ8L/36666</span><span style='color:#002060'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#002060'>BJ8 Registry</span><span style='color:#002060'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#002060'>AHCA Delegate at Large</span><span style='color:#002060'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#002060'>Havelock, NC </span><span style='color:#002060'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#002060'><o:p> </o:p></span></p></div><p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-family:"Comic Sans MS";color:#002060'><o:p> </o:p></span></p><div><div style='border:none;border-top:solid #B5C4DF 1.0pt;padding:3.0pt 0in 0in 0in'><p class=MsoNormal><b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'>From:</span></b><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"'> Healeys [mailto:healeys-bounces@autox.team.net] <b>On Behalf Of </b>Al Fuller<br><b>Sent:</b> Monday, March 19, 2018 11:41 AM<br><b>To:</b> healeys@autox.team.net<br><b>Subject:</b> [Healeys] Carpet fit - on top of trans tunnel - BJ-8<o:p></o:p></span></p></div></div><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>OK, it’s time to [finally] get the new-ish carpet to fit as it drapes down the trans tunnel. As it stands, the carpet is too big for the tunnel and bunches up on top, as well as on the sides. This is likely made worse by the fact that the trans tunnel has been lowered and narrowed a bit.<o:p></o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p><p class=MsoNormal>I think I have seen cars where the carpet was cut along the top of the trans tunnel, and the cut hidden by the console.
