<p>The cover that Simon showed looks to be an original for a
center shift BN7/BT7. I have one that is a turquoise color.
You don't say which hole is extra. The smaller round one with a
grommet to seal it is for the speedo cable, as you say. The
large rectangular grommet is access to the dipstick and the
large round one at the top of the 'tower' is where the shift
lever goes through. And at the rear is the hole that does not
go all the way through is for the ash tray to nest in. <br>
</p>
<p>So it seems that the BJ8 cover must be a variation of the
original design.</p>

Looks exactly like my BJ8'S cover, EXCEPT ... looks like someone
installed an extra hole. The hole with the plug/grommet is where
my speedometer cable transits, dunno what the other one is for
(maybe BT's are slightly different?).<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">I am contemplating replacing the carpet
over my Mk II BT7’s tunnel cover. Centre change box. Fibre
glass tunnel cover. See attached.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The upholsterer has asked me if my
cover is original. Sensible question since he makes them
to order. I’ve always made the, now seemingly dangerous,
assumption that it was original.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Is there any tried and trusted method
of distinguishing the original from the copies? Or, are
the copies sufficiently close to the originals as to make
no difference.<o:p></o:p></p>
