auto trans hump

Nah, I'm talking about the one thats runs across the rear end of the auto hump on the inside of the cabin floor and is rivetted in with about 4 rivets each side.

that's what i'm talking about aswell, instead of the box section that runs around the underside of the floor hump for some reason they stuck it on the inside, i get the impression it's an afterthought

I'd say it's like that so there is room for the auto? Trev

Ok, know what you mean now rat,and yep, I'd say thats put on top of the floor for room for the auto as you said Trev.

No guarantee that the carpet will fit properly anyway, I got carpet for the HK and it was too big (lose), and it is a stock floor, Trev

Well if you buy from Knox Motor Trimmers you wont have any problems! Seems their floorpan they use for a mold is still the right shape.

Yep - Knox are the go , the only prob I had (and Devilrod too by the look) is that they dont go up under the dash far enough so you need to get an extra bit to go across the firewall

vintageholden, if you do wanna buy one i got one (perth).

We paid $170 for it. It was around $60-70 for shipping. Size i think, more than weight.

But $100 its yours. Its got a little cut out of the front right hand corner about 2inches long. Piece of piss to fix. Cant put up a photo if ya want.

Really! Thats the first one I've heard out of over a dozen or so that wasn't right.

Mine I reworked to remove the molding for the brace and that was it. Blacky I reckon if you put the original sound proofing back on the firewall it would solve that issue, I just forgot to allow for it once the heater was on

The original hump has an annoying brace about 2 inches high that runs over the top about 1/3rd ( 1/4 ?? ) way back from the rear and is rivetted to the floor/hump/under floor brace.

I don't think there is a real need for this brace personally but if you feel there should be one there you could make one that does the same and is a lot less intrusive.

There's a brace, oh well not on mine.
