Carpet Part 1

 Was dreading fitting the carpets but couldn't go much further without starting  so panicked a bit and bribed Steve with beer and we tacked the transmission tunnel .

Placed the carpet were it need to be at the back and found that this was too far forward for the lay of the carpet to match the transmission tunnel and need to be back about 25mm 

happy with that cut the hole for the gearstick .hovered out all the area and covered the cables with carpet tape

carpet tape on the cables both sides 
Then is was showtime sprayed carpet glue on the transmission tunnel and the carpet and waited for it to just go tacky to give us some working time .

any excuse to get high 

carpet had to come back 25mm 

carpet smoothed out and fits the transmission tunnel 

Fitting the 2 screws that hold the bracket to tunnel were a challenge as didn't want to drill the carpet in case it pulled ended up knocking a 5mm bolt through the hole as a makeshift punch rough i know but worked ,
