As John has said, its only there to give more foot space.
I have done what you suggest David, just welded a plate on the inside of the tranny tunnel but then realised you need to be able to attach the ali that is on the inside of the cockpit side of tranny tunnel, so as not to leave a gap between the 2 plates I have added a Box tube upright where the 2 meet, works a treat.
saves all the bending as you comment on in the first part of your thread/question.
cheers
