Big tunnel and manual box

[Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius]

Has anyone fitted one of the aftermarket big trans tunnels and still runs a manual?
Does the clutch pedal still have full travel?

The only issue that you will have is that the large tunnels are larger than the EK auto tunnel and therefore pressed carpets will not fit properly.

You will need to get a carpet custom made....do you know of any good trimmers?? :P

I bought molded carpet for an EK auto and it fits good I was sure that is why they made the tunnel the size they did ......FC427.....

Some I have seen have required to be cut over the tunnel to allow the moulded carpet to sit flat on thefloor at the driver and passengers floor pans.

I've got a CRS hump in the FE with an EK auto carpet and it fits well, my concern was the clutch. The floor has been "modified" in the Pano, but the Aussie 4 speed linkages don't have enough clearance and the clutch seems to be too close to where the tunnel meets the floor.
Dunno about good trimmers though, but if you are asking about great trimmers  :P

Stinky,

I just fitted one to an FB and the clutch pedal has full travel.

Should be able to just squeeze some carpet and underlay between the pedal and tunnel.

Cheers

Stinky is the Waddington tunnel cheaper than the CRS one  ??? ???.....FC427.....

[Glenn 'Stinky' Stankevicius]

$100 buy-it-now +$25 post, CRS lists theirs at $120 I guess post/freight would be the same  :-\

Stinky does it have the center support ....FC427....

It fits pretty good i ended up welding mine corner to corner i cut the tabs off and i got a dolly and flattened the re cessed section where the inspection cover use to be.

Also fatboy has some picks in his FC wagon build.
