To fill the gap between the top edges of the side panels, and TR1/TR2, I plan to insert 25mm strips of GRP (leftovers from timing the side panels), so, unlike the rubber strip, this will be solid. As the gap increases from 0mm at the bulkhead level, to 6mm in the font, I can put one bolt just in front of the bulkhead, one in the middle with about 4-5mm on packing material, and one at the front, under back end of the nose cone, with 6mm of packing.

This makes 1 bolt every 300mm. So I can run a 25mm GRP strip on the 40 first front cm, then on top of it, another strip on the 25-30 first front cm
Again, will this be acceptable?
Simulating all that with rubber strips, pieces of GRP and clamps, it give something, in my opinion, looking not too bad, and everything finally fits together. But the main question: will this be strong enough?

The lower return edges of the side panels are flush with the floor, and the front end begin very long and wide, it becomes flush with BR1/BR2 very close to the front end of the floor. I will have no problem to solidly attach these lower edges of the side panels to the chassis.

I'd like to have your opinion about this before going further (drilling, etc.). So, again, every comment, idea, opinion about my plan is very welcome.
Thanks a lot.
