transmission tunnel top panel? and edging?
how have most people made the transmission tunnel top panel..? in one piece? as i don't think it would be too easy to be removed (eg to check
prop bolts, prop support etc) if so, but would look neater than 2 or 3 piece i guess...?
Also rather than having a folded edge what neat edging is there available to finish the edges off...?
thanks and any pics appreciated!

You won't get much neater than Flak monkey's. Have a look at his pic archive Tunnel 1,2 and 3

This is how I did my old mac1.
I rivnutted the top and side panels in place for easy access in the future and used tadpole trim to finish it.
The top is in two pieces, you can just see the join. I just wanted clean simple lines.

I made mine as one piece to start with then realised that with the gearstick/handbrake/scuttle/dash in place I couldn't remove it. I ended up
cutting it in two just in front of the gearstick where it was angled anyway. Covered both sections in 3mm foam and black vinyl and secured with M4
stainless cap heads into rivnuts fitted into the tunnel rails. You can see the join, but with the foam and vinyl there's no actual gap. The
edges were SVA'd with 3mm dia rubber tadpole trim.

This is how mine was. It's carbon fibre now, but with the same "Hockey stick" trim...

That is what I want, only white in the middle. Where did you get the trim? I haven't a clue where to look here in my area.

I used some very thin polycarbonate sheet which is quite flexible. trimmed it with skai and then used some rivets and alu to mount it to the original
aluminium tunnel panels.
