[TR] Tranny Tunnel

[Pete Fullam]

I have the space age plastic tunnel in my TR4. When I put in the OD 
gearbox a couple of years ago, I cut the tunnel right behind the cowl 
brace, for precisely the reasons John mentioned in his post. I made a 
couple of sheet metal strips to cover the gap between the sections. I 
also cut a hole about 3 x 4" in the front section opposite the OD 
solenoid. I made a form-fitting sheet metal cover for the hole. I can 
adjust the solenoid without removing either section of the tunnel. With 
the carpeting installed, everything looks perfectly normal.
