The top of mine forms a sort of sunken tray which I thought would be a handy place for a bag of sweets, eye-phone, etc.


It also doubles as a parts tray for when the inevitable roadside repair is needed. Nothing worse than having to search for
a dropped screw in the long grass. Us Locosters with Lotus engines have to think of these things.

Not got a photo to hand, but mine is just matt black painted alu, fairly thick gauge (2.5mm?) with rounded edges. As far as I know that was std westfield back in 1991.

Sides are covered in vinyl, which goes up the side and over to end on the chassis tube, then the top goes down and finishes the job, held on with self tappers so you can get to the handbrake and remote linkage on the back of the type9.

Is that the name of that edge trim " hockey stick ?

Mine was the same as Andy w but thinking of going for carbon with a black anodised edge and carbon dash to match
