As promised, here,s a couple of pics of my side panel where it meets the nose,
please excuse the gap between the bonnet & side panel( haven,t got my bonnet catches yet), I still need to put edge trim around the cut outs for the suspension holes & grommet where the brake line passes thru the side panel.
And for the very observant of you....yes I,m aware that my track rod end isn,t tightened up yet

Hope the pics help.
cheers

Thanks Andy, that helps me greatly. Glad to see you set the date on your camera
I might get round to doing the same with mine one day
I'm still not sure which way to go, The holes have to be pretty big and I am still thinking they may look better left open. I will make up some cardboard pieces and see which I prefer.
Best and all that,
Enoch

Do you mean where the nose gets close to the upper front wishbone bracket?
Mine sits very close to it but does clear it.
I,ll have a quick look in the pics I took today & see if any will help.

Cheers Andy,looking at pic 1 I have a better idea of how it fits.


Thanks.

Not being picky but you never did measure the tre's....

In pic 2, the very edge of the top part of the side panel at the front where it meets the nose is where the top of the front frame is....if that helps.

Doh memory like a sieve

Do you still need the measurements? I can get them for you in the morning & phone you if needed.

sorry about that, ......Like Spud.....I need a kick up the jacksy now & again

cheers

If it is no hassle Andy, yes please.

I,ll use this thread as its to do with side panels.....

May I ask those of you who have fitted GRP side panels & have cut a hole for the exhaust downpipe.....how much space around the exhaust pipe have you made the hole? I,ve done mine today & have approx 15mm gap between the two, so is this enough to ensure the GRP doesn,t melt?

cheers
