The tunnel has a groove that mates with a leading edge on the floorpan of
the car. This needs to be sealed.
The best way to seal this is with rubber/foam that is used to seal truck
canopies to the bed of the truck. It is about 1" wide and sticky on one
side. I stick it to leading edge of the floorpan and let it fold over on
both sides.
There should also be a foam/rubber seal on the leading edge of the tunnel
where it meets the firewall as well as on the in side of the tunnel where it
overlays the driveshaft tunnel.
With respect to Dynamat, The stuff you used is fine (expensive but fine).
There are other brands out there that are the same stuff but cheaper.
In addition to putting the Dynamat on the floor pan I also put it on both
sides of the tunnel to keep the heat and mechanical noise down. Works
great.

Subject: [Healeys] BN7 HEAT! Ouch
Hi folks,
Ouch says my foot. I can't get a good seal on my old tunnel. Is there a
material of choice to put between the tunnel and the bulkhead on the sides
to
make an actual seal? There is scalding hot air blowing out of where the
extension tunnel meets the bulkhead on the sides and I have no material
there.
The extension panel and the tunnel also have a poor seal. Any material to
put
there?
I bought an Extreme Dynamat door kit from a local stereo shop to put on the
floor but it does not seem like the right stuff.
Thanks for any suggestions
