Need some advice: Haiving installed the Datsun 5-speed kit, which is truly a great upgrade, I would like to improve access to the back end of the transmission and the front U joint. Rather than tryin

The area of greatest stress in the tunnel is the upper curved section, and the bottom flat section. If you remove metal in those areas, the structure will be weakened far more than if you remove meta

I agree with Brian! I have made a large hook from 1/4" mild steel rod and bent it to drop into the opening aft of the tranny and slide the universal into the hook. Then as someone slides the drivesha

PLEASE don't chop the tunnel up... this is a major structural backbone of the car... A small access panel with aircraft style removable fasteners in the pan under the U joint will have little or no

HA! This is VERY easy to say! I can still remember the day back in March of 1961. I had just bought my Frogeye and was giving it a lube and oil change at the automotive hobby center at the Memphis N

Chuck, if the opening is "small" it really doesn't matter whether you put the hole in the top of the tunnel or in the belly pan -- you're not going to weaken the structure significantly. However, the

Brian - just my personal opinion, but I like having an access panel in the bottom of my Midget. I didn't come up with the idea. When I bought the car, there was already a hole there. It was roughly d

Hope everyone had a good Christmas. Good point about the belly pan being in tension. Also try to leave as much edge distance from any drilled holes to the edge of the cutout - twice the hole diameter
