JP, Pick the holes that are in the best shape on the fire wall and hopefully the same holes in the trans cover to determine the floor height. Trust the firewall and the trans cover. If the floor is too high the trans cover will not bolt up to the fire wall and then you can decide which way to go. I did all the repairs to my trans cover, bolted it to the fire wall so all the holes were correct and all the bolts were in the fire wall before fitting and adjusting floor pans to match the trans tunnel. Yes it is very time consuming to get everything lined up but also very rewarding to be able to install the trans tunnel bolts by hand with little effort. Good luck , Welding gets better the more you do it. Your welding machine setup is key to how easy or hard the welding process will be for you. Frank
@@pucman1 I have a couple of minor TR3 projects that I am working on that are what I consider fun and need to get a few other TR3 projects that I started finish up before I get back working on welding the floor pans in. I am very happy with the way they fit but still feel it is too early to start welding til I can check front wing fit so I am confident with A post placement. Still waiting on storage container to expand shop space. That is my main problem to moving forward. Frank
Hey JP... At this point in time I don't think there is a right... I would personally adjust the tunnel cover to fit the floors you have rather than the other way around. Hope this is what you were asking. Mike

Still plugging away, thanks for the encouraging words Frank. When are you getting back on your project?

Yep spot on…just trying to get things moving forward. Thx
I was just looking at the three covers I have in stock and ALL of them need some sort of repair so I’ll be doing the same soon!
@@cheftush hopefully you will be quicker than me
@@cheftush haha. Same. I have two is various states of rusting. All exactly where your problems are JP.
I’d fit the tunnel to the car- Floor, bulk head etc
