<DIV>are we just talking about sealing the dog house?</DIV>
<DIV>in my TR3 i just installed it dry with no gaskets or caulk.</DIV>
<DIV>i then bought some sticky back aluminum tape from the air conditioning duckting dept of home depot. 10.00 i think.</DIV>
<DIV>taped all around the opening to form a seal. if i ever need to take it out it is an easy cut with a stanly knife</DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Believe it or not - the transmission tunnel is in great shape - no rust just covered with the remains of rubber backed carpeting the DPO put on it back in the 70's.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Got to looking on line and there does not appear to be rubber sealing strips like my TR4 has.</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Appealing to the collective wisdom of the list -- what is the best way to seal the tunnell when I replace it?</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>Found the size tap I needed at Macy's Garage - they also sell the locknut for under the knob!</DIV>
