I am intending to make one, but I can't seem to find a dimension for the height

I,m having same trouble in finding the scuttle height. I was hoping that some had already built one

I would hope that some one will pop outside and measure there's. If your engion and rad are in it canot be that hard to work out a sutable scuttle hight. Shore it canot be to critical. Aslong as you can see over it and the bonet still clears the engion.

Make it whatever height you want as long as you can see over it...:)
I made the fibreglass ones approx 10" if that helps?
Biggest problem is engine clearance as you need a straight run down to the nosecone or the car will look odd.

So any ideas Mark what you will do for my V6? A power bulge & higher scuttle? Hope to see you at the Exeter show to chat about what you can do. Do you have a damaged nose cone, scuttle or formers i could borrow or buy to get an idea of what heights i need?

Also, when you are not busy send me a pm so i can come order my seats. Ideally like to try them if you have some ready without gel coat.

I wouldn't mind a copy if you happen to have one ;)

Perhaps I could take a few measurements sometime when it is convenient :) :)
