scuttle drawings

Hi, does anyone know what the radius on the scuttle is ? or is it flat on top:confused: . I think there was a drawing of the scuttle here somewhere but i cant seem to find it.

I've made a 2D drawing out of the 3D model by Hoybi and put it up here:

Hello Sami,

it does have a very slight radius to it but it is too shallow to measure. Measured horizontally along the top of the scuttle each side drops about 20mm upto the radius for the sides.

Hope it helps....AndyH

On Hoybi's model the radius of the top sufrace of the scuttle is around 6 metres. That is over the 60 cm wide flattish area in the middle the centre is raised by about 7 mm.

That must be some fancy expensive kit he has over there In Belgium to be able to scan body panels....:eek:
scary really as the body panels were made by hand and no fancy machine went anywhere near it other than DA sanders...no wonder I need to wear glasses these days for reading as all that staring at plugs to get the shape right as knackered my eyes:o

Keen to know if the fancy scanner highlighted any oddness side to side or on any radius?
