new transmission tunnel humps?

[rjleiker]

it could probably work just fine if I don't even worry about the steel hump and just mount a plastic one to the floor. It won't be under much stress with just the boot moving around. This might be the option I take.

Anyone ever tried a 70-81 F-body metal shifter hump?

Like this one? http://www.keislerauto.com/index.ph...-tunnel-hump-for-1970-81-camaro-firebird.html

It looks very similar to a g-body one, anybody think it will fit? It's not too badly priced for a brand new one.

So, on factory manual cars, there is more than the plastic piece linked in the first post? The plastic goes over the metal piece that doober shows? I thought all there was, was the plastic "hump"

 

[Doober]

Yeah, that plastic piece is basically trim that goes over the hump and covers the edges of the carpet, then the boot sits on top of (or comes through) that.

Any aftermarket parts dealer that handles sheet metal parts should have these pieces...will they work.....I dunno.

HTH

 

[rjleiker]

So you're saying that the 70-81 F-body hump will fit the 78-87 g-body tunnels? Cause that would be awesome.

 

[shvrolay]

I said........"I dunno" if they'd work.

It's hard to get a good all around picture of them on-line to compare with a G body hump.
A person with decent fabrication skills can make just about anything work on some things.
I'll have to take some pictures of the G body hump I have and post them.

Dam, didn't see Tommy's post.

Yep, found those guys a while back, now they just need to start carrying the boot/ring and trim piece.
