[TR] TR6 Plastaic transmission Tunnel Fit

[Harrymague at aol.com]

Hey guys, anybody have problems getting after market plastic transmission  
tunnels to fit.  My car has one of the British Heritage bodies.  When  I put 
this together years ago, the tunnel never fit just right.  I seemed  it was 
short.  This winters project was to replace the frame with a Ratco  frame.  
Switch went well but I am at the point of putting the interior back  in.  
The old tunnel was pretty bad so I got one from one of the  suppliers.  It is 
around a quarter inch short.  Meaning the bolts line  up on the floor, but 
the tunnel connection to the fire wall won't reach the bolt  holes.
 
So OK.  I have been looking at the two piece tunnel.  I got one  and it is 
short too.  What the heck.  
 
My thought to fix this is to get around a two inch piece of aluminum stock  
and make a spacer.  Screw it to the tunnel so that the gap is filled.   
Anybody have any other suggestion??
 
Also what is the thought of placing dynamat on the inside or outside of the 
 tunnel??
 
Thanks in advance.
