I know my BN7 has a non original trannie (top shift) but my hand brake comes
out on the passenger side of the tunnel, not the driver side. Is this unique
as I bought a carpet set from M+++ awhile back and I had to have a new tunnel
cover carpet made because of it...also bought their thermal mat which works
well from what I can tell. But I have also plugged lots of firewall openings,
etc from the prior owners, etc.
