[Healeys] BJ8 Tunnel Seals

[dgschwind at comcast.net]

Hi, Listers,
     May I have a little advice please? I am about to remove the tranny tunnel on my BJ8 and would like to put in new seals to reduce the cockpit heat. On the highway, there is a blast of hot air coming out of the Tranny dipstick cover in the carpet, so I know I've got a big leak somewhere. The seal covering the dipstick is in place and tight. The tunnel seals include two long pieces, "U" shaped, with small ribs on the base of the "U". How do these install in the car? Ribs up against the tunnel or floor? Over the flange on the tunnel or what? Are these glued in place or does the tunnel to floor screws lock it in? The forward edge seal and the rear seal look "straight forward", but are there any other tricks I should consider? Are there any supplementary sealers used? Thanks in advance,

Don,   BJ8, Pandora
