andi4eyes Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I would like to fit a vinyl tunnel top to my bare aluminum non-handbrake tunnel (Vauxhall 8V powered Classic VX S3 live axle chassis). Maybe someone has one laying around?Thanks! Andi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wrightpayne Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 I quite like the bare ally centre - looks more traditional.If you want a comfy elbow rest you could fashion something out of leather or a bit of carpet?Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andi4eyes Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 @SM25T, I haven't seen the two variants side by side but I assumed the shape of the flat bit (where the handbrake would be) and the transition to the round part would be different. But it could be an option if I can't find anything.@Ian, yes good idea. I was thinking about that as well. I wanted to cover the ally bit around the gear shifter in vinyl but couldn't come up with a neat solution for a elbow rest yet. I don't have access to the car at the moment so there wasn't a eureka moment yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wrightpayne Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 Have you looked at tunnel bags - these fit over the gearstick? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andi4eyes Posted July 29, 2020 Author Share Posted July 29, 2020 @sforshaw, it's a 2000 live axle (Vauxhall) Classic VX Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guy Lowe Posted July 29, 2020 Share Posted July 29, 2020 There are various types, Rover/X Flow/Vauxhall & they don't all fit all cars because of the position af the gear leaver. Ask me how I know? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Leadership Team SLR No.77 Posted July 29, 2020 Leadership Team Share Posted July 29, 2020 Have a look here: https://www.softbitsshop.co.uk/tunnel-top-types-33-w.aspThe live axle cars often had just carpet over the tunnel and sometimes a padded "cushion" for you elbow. I'm not sure whether they'd gained a full tunnel top by 2000 though.Stu. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
