Waldemar - I explored that option , but on my right hand drive car I have factory fitted electrical 'things' behind that panel , behind the plastic dash behind the leather top. I dont know what these electrics are - I suspect its the Immobiliser unit but not sure. Did yours have anything behind there before the mod , or did your dealer fit it from new ?
When I got my car, it was installed, so I have no idea what it looked before. The compartment is about 8 to 10 cm deep, totally closed and when I open the front cover over the batterie etc., you see nothing but the original panel sheet, so there must be some space between the dashboard and this panel sheet. there is a simple fastbutton to open and close.
and Nippymog, I have no immobilizer
I have the smaller tunnel with more room for my legs, on the site of morgan Park
It is the immobiliser, well it is on my car. It can be easily unbolted and refitted in another location as there is plenty of spare wire. I fitted a glove box and made the structure from 1.5mm plasticard. Use the redundant steering mount as securing point for the box and get better access for installation by removing the front bulkhead panel, held on by woodscrews and master cyliders mounts. It's quite a lot of work and fabrication but gives a useful hidden storage.
Early on, I found it difficult to hit the horn switch. Now I have fitted a Max Clifford horn extension. It's only a little thing but it gets the job done.

Hi Planenut , How did you get access to it to move it ? I am guessing from the bonnet side removing the bulkhead panels ? Cheers
