Transmission Tunnel 69 442
Transmission Tunnel 69 442
I am looking for a 4 speed tunnel for 69 442. This a non-console car, there is a small hump. Previous owner hacked up the hole to put chevy combo
in or for access to shifter.

This is what you're looking for less the brackets

Here is a picture of what they did. They put a piece of galvanized steel to cover everything up. It was a hack job. I take it that the sealant on the top right was where the hump was. I am not too familiar with manual trans cars. Just trying to get parts put together for this.

If you're into functionality and not originality I'd clean up the edges of the current hole, get a section from an auto car, locate the shifter, cut a hole, (before mounting the section), roll the inside edges of the hole, and butt weld in the section.
I made a wood template to make a hump but I wish I had rolled the inside edge like the original was. The inside is squarer than the original hump was but it does the job

Also, Parts Place does sell a so-called repro for $50 ....

Part # BP1281T
BUT, it's not entirely accurate to Olds (Buick/Poncho, maybe?). The hole is a bit smaller & slightly different shape than an Olds hole so it may need a little bit of tweaking...

I have a nice OEM 66-69 4 speed hole plate for sale. I was saving it for another project but there are not any more projects for me. $200 shipped to lower 48. Pictures available & best to email me.
