Interesting thread! I noticed in the posted pictures that the opening for the gearbox is "square" rather than round (following the contour of the bellhousing.) Is this a modification, or a change in the body that was introduced at some point during production?

Interesting. The parts book appear to show a rounded opening on all models inc B16. Anyone actually seen one? There are 4 different firewall part numbers but the differences appear to be for BW35 automatic cars.

Took a couple of pictures of the opening in my Amazon. I have a rounded one.

Thanks for the pictures. Very interesting. The chase is now on to find out when it changed to square. I would suspect that it was when the car was changed to B18.
