<< The car had a flak blanket, but the steel transmission tunnel was torn from

fragments and springs accompanied the bell housing fragments. The blanket
was helpful but needed better attachment to the floor to be effective.

Many years ago, I managed to tack weld some metal plate to the transmission
tunnel in the vicinity of my feet. Would this system work? I do not know
since I never blew up any pressure plates. Maybe I better start using more
hold-down bolts.
