Hi,

Should the transmission tunnel have a steel section in the footwell area or is it normal to panel the whole lot in alluminium?

Thanks
Dan

ive done my passanger tunnel in Ali and my drivers tunnel in steel as i figure its got the extra strains of the pedal box

Mine will be all Ally panels

Haynes chassis has a steel panel in there, help protect against flywheel mishaps I presume.

I have to add to what Ben said

Mine is a book built chassis with steel floor footwells and tunnel sides, although the tunnel top is alui with self tappers to hole it in place

I personly would not feel safe with alui floor tunnel footwells

I looked at the haynes book and couldn't figure why the steel was only on the drivers side - do pasengers feet not deserve any protection???

The way that haynes book shows the panel does give an extra 20mm of footwell space so i guess thats one advantage.
