Fabricated Scuttle
 

Hi

Interested to know if anyone has fabricated the scuttle as shown in the book

Cheers

I am intending to make one, but I can't seem to find a dimension for the height

I,m having same trouble in finding the scuttle height. I was hoping that some had already built one

I have a 13 page document by Mark Allanson on fabricating a scuttle.

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.

So any ideas Mark what you will do for my V6? A power bulge & higher scuttle? Hope to see you at the Exeter show to chat about what you can do. Do you have a damaged nose cone, scuttle or formers i could borrow or buy to get an idea of what heights i need?

Also, when you are not busy send me a pm so i can come order my seats. Ideally like to try them if you have some ready without gel coat.

Nowt me old mucker as Mr Spud's yer man now for body work and as for seats my daughter and her partner have taken over production.

Ashg's car will be at Exeter wearing a pair of wide seats if that helps?

cheers les g

Funily enough, so do I :D :D :D

I wouldn't mind a copy if you happen to have one ;)

Perhaps I could take a few measurements sometime when it is convenient :) :)

Pop over anytime, just ring to make sure I am in, PM me your email address and I will send it over (open to anyone else as well)

Oh dear, I should have mentioned that I would be quite happy to e-mail to anyone that wants a copy. Sorry for that oversite.:o

Mine might be more up to date;)

Mark, that crazy South Efrican sent me your document, it's a very nice bit of work you did there.

Thank's to Trophy Blue
