So I did wonder if it was sat too far forward. But it does all line up nicely with the bonnet in place, I need to rivnut the scuttle in place next, I think it should all be ok.

let me know how you get on,
Hi Mike,
I believe if the nosecone butts upto the front chassis frame like you said it puts the scuttle further back compared to Saturns bodywork...
I plan to move the nose slightly forward of the front frame and bring the scuttle back to the transsion between the top rails (don't know rail numbers).
Got some Aero Catches on order this week (you there SeriesLandy for help ) so if I can find the motivation to work on it I might be able to show some progress soon....
