The floor pan I have, which was from an Ausi Clubman is bulkier around the gear change, and higher in front of the gear change, than the standard roundnose floor pan.

The basic `Oz hydro channel' floorpan was unchanged from 1967 to 1978, except there were 2 patches bumped upwards in a die, where the cottonreel mounts are.
I'd be lighting the oxy up and using a VBFH from underneath to duplicate said bumps. :wink:


But then you'd want to weld in the higher transmission tunnel, wouldn't stretch that.
:D

Are you SURE it's higher, it looks the same to me.
UK cars got a taller, squarer tunnel, but Oz never did.

Hint: the crossmember is the same on all ours, so how can the tunnel be higher..??


I mean it is more bulbous, around an inch higher for a 6 inch radius around the stick.

OK I see what you mean now. It's been a while since I had a Clubby.
I've converted more rodchange cars to take a proper remote.. no problem once you drill 3 holes.8)

I did this recently. Faffed making my own brackets but in the end just ordered the kit from Minimania in the USA. Fitted it two weeks ago. Easy job.
