Too small where? The body or the chassis?
From talking to Jim it should be a good fit. I will find out for sure when I go to Exeter and can take measurements from the Thruxton and the Vodou/ Talon chassis. Jim tells me he will have a bare chassis there too so it should be easy enough to check everything.
I don't see there can be much difference in the dimensions of the 2 bodies apart from the length of the bonnet. I believe the MK chassis and the MAC1 chassis are pretty much the same. The Thruxton uses a development of the MAC1 chassis. The Thruxton bonnet is moulded so that the length can be reduced if the wheelbase of the intended chassis is shorter.
As far as I can find out at the moment the Haynes wheebase and the Thruxton wheelbase are identical and the track is also the same.
Lets hope they are as I really have got my heart set on the Thruxton body.
Can anyone confirm for me the exact wheel base and track of a Haynes?
