Gearbox Side Panel - 3.8 EARLY (1961 only) - RH - BD15137
This is the RH gearbox side panel for early flat floor E-Types. It is longer than the standard 3.8 RH gearbox side - very early cars do not have the "wedge" panel between the RH gearbox and bellhousing side panels.

These panels are notoriously incorrect from other manufacturers - the height is usually too short, not uniform along their length. Also, the access holes are often misplaced, and are just kind of in the "general area" of where they should be.
As with every panel we make, ours are EXACT - which is important because the fit of these panels and the cover above them are CRUCIAL to getting all of the center and radio console fitted - there is NO room for error here - the fit of everything around the tunnel in the interior is TIGHT!
