[TR] TR6 Plastaic transmission Tunnel Fit

[FordneyNJ at aol.com]

My TR4-A had a fiberglas tunnel installed by the DPO. He cut into 2  
pieces, enlarged the holes, somehow installed and taped it  together.  I glassed 
it back together to reinstall. Nothing lined up. I  obtained a poly-plastic 2 
piece cover from BPNW. Much easier to work with  and it even came with 
instructions and tips. New holes were easily made  with a hole punch. Highly 
recommened.

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.
