Tunnel Leather

I've now made a completion / snagging list and to be honest it is a bit daunting. So no time like the present to knock a few more things off the list.

Having got an off cut of stainless steel plate it was time to start fitting the tunnel leather. First job is to get the Dremel out (again!) and cut out for the gearstick:

The tunnel leather will be fixed in three places: 1) Held down at the back by the bulkhead panel. 2) Held down at the middle by the gearstick trim ring. 3)Held down at the front by two stainless brackets under the dash:

Make yourself a little bracket - slit the leather and insert one leg of the bracket under the leather and foam but above the fibreglass panel. Hold the whole lot down and drill the tunnel side and insert a stainless self tapper. Job Done!

However, the dreaded SVA requirements has me worrying if the edge of the bracket constitutes a contactable sharp edge??

*** EDIT ***

For the sake of two small bits of edge trim:

Hopefully that's a re-test fee avoided!
