I saw this tunnel on eBay:

I've never seen a steel centre transmission tunnel and wondered what it might be off?

Standard 2.6 transmission tunnel there. The transmission tunnel and the diaphragm panel that attach to the bulkhead are booth steel and unique to the 2.6.

Well you learn something new every day. Why steel and all the others in alloy?

[Calum]

Yep, 6 cylinder tunnel. No idea why they were steel (and also incorporated the surround for the red transfer lever as can be seen)

Every day is a learning day! Thank you!

I used to have a 1973 series 3 Dormobile 2.6 don't remember it having a steel tunnel cover, could be wrong it was a while ago.

The diaphragm panel has had the side returns cut off. The panels on our Dormy are steel it was an export 6 pot H suffix.
