Browsing LCB photos quickly?
Maybe i've not found it - but is there an easy way to browse through the many photos on here?
I'm looking for specific photos (currently for instance - any pics of peoples transmission tunnel without the top panel) - so i'd spot
from thumbnails quickly if it were a photo I actually wanted to look at properly. But i can't figure out a way to browse ALL photos easily...?

I share your desire to browse fast, but I've been on here a good few years and not found a way yet.
To help us help you maybe...what detail are you looking for?

Yeh i'm with nick, probably just ask for photos on a thread and we could all post for you (i'd do it now but don't have any
handy!).
Just let us know specifically what you're looking for

At the moment i'm looking for photos of interiors - ideally with the tunnel top panel off - as i'm trying to figure out the finer detail
of panelling my transmission tunnel. But it'd be a handy function for the hundreds of things I look up on here. Google image search is not bad
- but just pulls up very little from LCB by the looks of things...

Don't have an image to hand, but for my MK Indy I riveted Aluminium panels to the sides and secured a vinyl covered Aluminium panel to the top
(to allow future access). It worked fine and looked neat and tidy.

Here you go - top panel on, but should give you some idea...

Thank you Mash - it did take a couple of tries to get it like that. From memory, one of the changes I made was to split the top panel in to two
sections around the gear stick and handbrake. This allowed either section to be removed for access without having to remove the whole panel. Within
the tunnel itself I glued the speedo magnets onto the rear of the prop-shaft and then made an Aluminium bracket spanning the prop shaft holding the
sensor over the magnets. It worked perfectly and the magnets never left the prop shaft either.
For reference I used dome head M6 Allen bolts to secure the top panels and avoid sharp protrusions for SVA.

One further image of how I shortened my handbrake cable to suit the MK Indy (drilled a hole in a large Ø bolt, inserted both ends of the chopped cable
and secured with a nut and washer)...

Cheers- i'm currently wondering whether to form the tunnel side panels so they fold over the top - to avoid any possible sharp edges - and also
whether to rivet on the top rather than the side - so when I then fit a cover it hides all the rivets...

I opted for riveted sides and bolted top panels as I figured I'd be better accessing the tunnel from above (or below) if needed. Trying to
remove side panels would involve removing the seats (more faff). With regard to shard edges I glued strips of rubber tadpole trim (as used between
rear arches and rear tub) to the edges of the top panel, which gave rounded rubber edges in the interior. The top Aluminium panels were also fitted
on the outside face with 3mm foam and then covered with black vinyl glued down, which again rounded the edges off.
