The Belgian Build

[Hoybi]

well done Wim,

we're about at the same stage as you. See the pictures. And only some 60 km from one another. From the start, we've decided not to bring it on the road.
Can I offer you a vacuum formed dashboard ? And rear deck maybe ?
I've made a few before I felt happy but I only need one.

It is a nice offer, but we will be making a Caterham style dash and rear deck.
Your build looks very tidy.

Interesting! Do you have a design for the dashboard yet? The Caterham scuttle is much lower, there's lots more space on the Haynes dashboard.

There isn't a design yet, but will be doing that part of the build in the next couple of weeks. When there is one, we will be posting it up here.

Are the Caterham scuttles that much lower ? I thought they were at about 10" in height at the side of the dashboard. Not a lot of difference with the Haynes scuttle ?

Well, maybe it's not the scuttle, but the chassis which is lower.
