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.
