Transmission Tunnel Access Panel - Pictures attached

#1 Post by TFN »

Good evening,

I'm sure this is nothing new but it makes topping-up the gearbox oil and bleeding the clutch slave cylinder very easy so I thought I'd post some pictures. A stupidly over engineered solution, but I wanted to try fibreglass forming.

Moulding the cover to the tunnel has ensured a good fit and I backed it with rubber so it doesn't let the rain in. It is held in place with chimney clips and bolts.

Job done......now to fix some of the actual problems!

your right that's been done before and is a very good idea and as you say makes it so much easier for topping up the gearbox oil and bleeding the clutch :D , Steve ( Carledo on the forum ) tidied up the mess i made of my own effort :(
