Hi Everyone,
I am chasing an Escort auto tunnel or a rusty auto Escort shell that I could remove a tunnel from. I have recently purchased a larger T5 gearbox for my Mk2, so I require a larger gearbox tunnel.
Preferably in Queensland.
Thanks,
Damion

Hi Aaron,
You are probably right. At the pace I have been progressing with the car over the past few years I will be patient and see if something turns up, Otherwise I will price up getting one fabricated or buy one from Smcka.
Cheers,
Damion

after putting an auto tunnel into my last 2 shells I wouldn't do it again & would fabricate the larger sections required to fit the gearbox in better
the main reason is lack of space in the footwell with the clutch pedal - no room for a foot rest
just my 2 cents worth

Hi Scott,
Fair point, my old man is of the same opinion. I have had a few Escort's with auto tunnels and it has never bothered me that much.
Cheers,
Damion
