Quick question on Rennline Tunnel Block Install
Bought the Rennline tunnel block off plate and although I know it comes with self starting screws that make it just a couple minutes to install the issue for me or concern is that in my tunnel I have a packet of wires or something else running along each side as seen in the picture below.
Don’t feel comfortable having screws with sharp ends going all along that in case they rub. Wondering if someone else came up with another idea of how to attach this. ![]()

Proceed carefully. Fuel line run in the tunnel. In my SC bundle up high drivers side and held in by bendable clips.

Grind the sharp points off, or get some sheet metal screws that don’t have points.
Unless you want to drill it out and use nutcerts and Machine screws. |

No but that's a great idea.

I thought about nutserts but still has something going into the tunnel where the electrical stuff is. What's the metal line there in my pic? Fuel line?

Quick update - Rennline indicates they are working on a change where they use two sided tape to attach as part of their kit - so maybe I am not the only one that has this issue. I am just going to use some velcro instead around it. Only need to hold it on and will have carpet and the center console on top so avoids a lot of work and potential damage to wiring, etc.
