I'm afraid the mold for the nose cone doesn't allow for much a flange to be formed for fixing of the nose cone. Going to have a go at modifying the mold soon to allow for better fixing.

It does fix on okay at the moment, if not a little awkward.

Regards.....AndyH

Fix it at the bottom then use a dzeus fastner where it meets the bonnet so it holds both the nose cone and the bonnet......simples!

Andy, adding a bit to the flange is easy done if you feel the need..clamp some wood to the flange while it's off the nose with enough to give a bigger flange then simply gel and 'glass it ....resulting in a wider flange


Any news on the single seater beastie? I made me own but the engine may be a problem oh and will fry the IVA bods brains...

Hello has all.
After a small research j' found this post.
Is this step a little be likely to bore in the tubes, especially in the periphery of the nose gear.
Why not to put a small square l' has; interior and to make a grip with a strip d' alluminium in order to tighten the nose
