Scuttle

[AshG]

bolt the drivers side on first then the push the passengers side up and bolt down. i had the same with mine it eventually took the new shape and doesn't have to be squeezed in any more. its been on the car for at least 6months now and hasn't cracked to date

This is a relief to hear, I found early on in my build that the drivers side upright had pulled in over 2 or 3mm during welding.
Hopefully this means that a GRP scuttle should fit.
Not sure of the weight difference between a GRP one and a homemade alloy scuttle.
