Being around aircraft during school, I like the access panels they have to get to pretty much anything (not easily always mind you)
So.....I was thinking that it would be nice to cut the entire top (or close to it) off of the central tunnel that houses the shift linkage, harness and cables, etc, etc.... Nutcerts or even Dzus fasteners could be used to keep the new panels in place. The only two areas that I see would need to be well thought out is the shifter pad and the seat belt mounting points. I figure TimT has done this, and if so, got pictures???? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smash.gif) |

i can't remember where, but i have seen a picture of someone replacing the whole tunnel by drilling out all the spotwelds and taking it out.
now, if you do that, you won't have to cut the top of the tunnel, plus you get even better access to the floor and the rest, and once you're done, just weld it back in using the original spot weld holes ... Andy |
