Well done Alun, thanks for doing it for the club. Yet more of the car to be GRP, ligthened and less rusty because of you :)

No rush for mine, but just let me know when you want me to buy.....

Alun, the template was printed in one of the DMs. I have one somewhere?
Excellent, because poor old Ted couldn't recall anything about it this evening.

I will have three GRP tunnel with me. The original is 3Kg, the first out of the mould is 1.8Kg, ideal for a road car with added acoustic thickness and the other two are lightweight racing examples at 1.3Kg!

Well, I still have three. It would be good to move them on to affray some of my outlay costs....

My apologies for being dim, but what is the difference between these and items for lesser engined vehicles? The lightweight one would be nice. I need to pull mine soon and I'm not convinced it will survive...

The interface with the floorpan and bulkhead is I believe identical, the Sprint tunnel envelops more volume than the others due to the gearbox being bigger, though those for auto cars are generally wider, again to accommodate the shape of the 'box beneath. The hole for the gearstick also varies slightly between the models.

I have one 'in stock' but can readily get some more laid up. Still short of the break even point to cover the mould costs by a number of units.
