thanks EJH. Just catching up after not watching resto vids all summer - long days mean doing other things until bedtime. But now more dark time. Have been building a shed so I will have a place to work on our TR 2 this winter and your vids will be invaluable. Thanks. John in Manitoba.
It is nice to have a dedicated space to work on a project. I am pretty much done with welding now, at least. I might have the odd spot to fix, but all the large panels are installed now. Welcome back to the channel.
With the airflow under the car I don't think that is an issue. The trans generates quite a bit of heat during operation regardless of the exhaust and is not particularly heat sensitive. Certainly a passengers leg, in a LHD car, is a lot more vulnerable to the discomfort of heat in the 120 degree range than the transmission.
Coming along nicely!
It is fun assembling things instead of taking apart and bodywork.

Wrap the exhaust pipe to keep the heat off the trans and the person riding shotgun.
I usually insulate the underside of the transmission cover to prevent exhaust and drive-train heat from entering the cockpit.
@@ejhbritishcars6907 But that doesn't protect the trans.
