hi! all I spotted this fb ute getting some rust work done at a mates workshop and noticed this neat trans tunnel upgrade using a hq holden tunnel .

I didnt even think of that. I just finshed making one from scratch. The Waddington one supplied didnt even come close to fit the gearbox crossmember made to fit the gearbox in this ek wagon im doing.

the standard crossmember? it's not sposed to you allways have to fabricate one look at my 2 door thread and craigs ute thread it shows the process of making one
thing is engineers i've dealt with probly wouldn't be happy with the one above looks good but doesn't line up with the original therefore it's a blank space still

We did similar with mine too, dabbed up one to pick up the original points.

The trans cross member had already been made up so I worked around what was already there. It came out pretty good in the end. I just have to grind it all up and get the underside ready for paint. I've got a couple more patches to weld in the floor still.

The beauty of the Waddingtons one is the standard auto carpet kit will fit (with a bit of tweaking ) but good idea to file away in the memory banks for if you are going LS2 and 6 speed for example
