I am replacing some interior trim on my 73, it has the original rubber mats but there was nothing to insulate the trans tunnel? There a 2 brackets/guides? spot welded to the drivers side only? Any idea what they are for or what I should do before covering the tunnel with carpeting. Attachment: 73 J-H (7).JPG (Downloaded 79 times)

The bracket on the driver's side makes it quick and easy to center the console during assembly. But that's not from any official sources, just my $.02. I took mine off when I redid the interior so the carpet could fasten directly to the tunnel and not have that funky hollow underneath. Clinton

the tabs hold a piece of 1/4 inch padded backing and the carpet. The carpet was glued to the backing and snug fit into place. I put a stick-on foil mat down on the tunnel first and then glued my carpet to the original backing and slipped it back in. The top edge is concealed by the centre console. I did not use the original padded backing elsewhere as it is a water trap and causes rust. hence the rotten floor in most original JH.
