Floor shift cut out

[wbute]

Can someone enlighten me as to why some floor shift holes in the trans tunnel are cut neatly and others look like the were hacked out with a cold chisel? My HJ van shell is as neat as a pin but my HX ute is as rough as. They seem to vary from vehicle to vehicle.
(I'm not talking column shift converted to floor shift but factory cut out).

It may be plant dependant.

just a small remnant that cars used to be built by people not machines I'd say the ol friday arvo thing might have come into it or maybe a job and knock. :errf:

im thinkin yours has been hacked at since the factory ..i have never seen a factory cut floor hole that is dodgey...usually quite neat but not stamped out perfect...

My HX looks terrible also, but my WB looked perfect and so did the HJ.

Certain my HX is factory floor shift. It looks like it was an oxy cut almost. Too dark in the shed to take a pic, but will when I get a chance.
Were they stamped or just cut out in the factory as needed? One floor pan fits all sort of thing.

They were all flame cut. That I have seen anyway.
