Hi Jim,

the grp panel will fit over the curved frame but you will need to cut it and add a small section underneath the roll bar mounts at the top of the wheel arch. Aesthetically it is much better to make the mods shown earlier when fitting the rear panel and remove the curved rails.

The fuel tank will need altering with a tapered back to fit inside the panel.

Regards....Andrew

I have modified rear end for GRP tub also. Does anyone have any dimensions for fuel tank? I plan to bring the rear stays down same dimensions as book from the centre line of the chassis, but will locate on the rearmost rail, as do not have round tube as aluminium rear tubs do.
