Looks exactly like my BJ8'S cover, EXCEPT ... looks like someone 
installed an extra hole. The hole with the plug/grommet is where my 
speedometer cable transits, dunno what the other one is for (maybe BT's 
are slightly different?).

It's original.   The cheap Chinese repops don't look anything like the
original.

Subject: [Healeys] FW: BT7 Tunnel Cover Carpet

 

Hi,

I am contemplating replacing the carpet over my Mk II BT7's tunnel cover.
Centre change box. Fibre glass tunnel cover. See attached.

The upholsterer has asked me if my cover is original. Sensible question
since he makes them to order. I've always made the, now seemingly dangerous,
assumption that it was original.

Thanks,

Simon
