Hi Tim. Not much help with your specific question as I did my BN7 tunnel =
work 25 years ago and no longer own the car. However, one thing I wish I =
would have done is to really re-engineer the way the tunnel and bulkhead =
pieces fit together, and made strong fasteners that could pull the seal =
tight and prevent the heat from flowing into the cockpit. If only --- =
I think it would have been simple enough to do before the engine was in =
the car but I just didn=E2=80=99t remember and appreciate what a bodge =
it really was as original. If you do that and pull it up tight you may =
be able to better judge whether your shifter will function properly. Jim

Trying again, since the original post I have rebuilt the rusted flanges =
on both sections and they look new now. I have both uncarpeted sections =
set in place but with the front bellhousing section in place, where it =
seems to fit best, the hole for the shifter is not centered over the =
trans. See attached. Will this positioning work ? I can't move the main =
cover to the left much as it is over the drive shaft hump. Also does the =
front flange of the trans cover screw onto the bellhousing cover? I =
believe cupped trim screws are used for the sides of the bellhsg cover =
but what is used for the floor flanges, self tapping type? I have two =
snaps on each side of the man cover for the carpet, is there one or two =
on the drvshaft tunnel?
I also posted this question awhile ago to another Healey forum =
(https://www.ahexp.com/phorum/read.php?3,205482 ) worded a little =
differently but have received no useful responses.

Subject: Side shift trans covers

I am about to install my two covers after first test fitting for a =
couple welding repairs. My front footwells are newly carpeted and the =
forward section is lapping over the carpet on the sides, IS This =
correct?
When I try to fit that first piece alone where it would seem to be the =
Main cover is too far forward i.e small gap at the drive shaft tunnel. =
So I am thinking I need to get the big one in place regarding the tunnel =
and the access holes which will be pulling the front section back where =
it doesn't look like it would like to be ideally.
Does anyone have any photos of the two sheetmetal covers in place or =
being installed/removed? Or any other words of wisdom?
