I would not suggest gluing the carpet to the floor. If the carpet ever gets wet
it will hold moisture for a long time & promote rusting of the floor. I did add
additional thermal insulation (not sound insulation) to the interior, but it is
glued to the bottom of the carpets. The carpets are held down with original
type fasteners & conform to the floor & tunnel, etc. very well because a
professional upholsterer who knew what he was doing fabricated & installed
them.

Front piece screws to floor and side of bulkhead, then screw cover down to the
floor. I covrred all bits in sound deadening and heat shield. You might want to
trim some metal away from top of tranny so it does not rub. I glued carpet to
floor and cover as the snaps made it look crappy and bunched up like clothes on
the floor.

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?
