Well, I discovered it after I had problems trying to go from the top down.? In
a few places it is tight underneath to get the bolt up through but I was able
to do it.? I also used stainless so I wouldnt have to worry about rust.? And I
did attach the weatherstripping to the tunnel.? The other cool thing is that if
you stick the bolts through before you install the gearbox you can reach
through the opening while the car is on the ground without having to crawl
under the car.? I would also recommend using a lock washer when you tighten the
bolt from underneath since once you start tightening from the top after the
bolt is in you can loosen the bolt.? And of course use a lock washer and flat
washer on top.? I cant recall the length of the bolts I used but they were a
bit longer than the stock ones provided in the fitting kit.

Wow, that's a great tip. Does that work well around top of the tranny? Those
are the ones that I can never get.
Also, use spray interior adhesive to glue the rubber strips to the cover, not
the car. This makes the job go much easier too.

installation is to insert the bolts through the bottom of the car so the bolt
sticks up through.? Then you can force the tunnel down over the exposed bolts
and slide on a washer and nut from the inside of the car.? Much, much easier
than trying to get that damn bolt started from above.> > > > > > Aaron
