Side panels
Hello,
I'm just getting to the stage of fitting my side panels. After cutting the notch out to fit around the steering column support I expected it to
be a flush fit but the tube that has the top wishbone mount on it is protuding by 4/5mm (photo below hopefully).
What have other done to sort this?
Should I cut a slot out of the side panel, grind the weld down, or something else?
Any suggestions gratefully received.

won't you need to cut a hole at that point anyway for the wishbone to pass through the side panel,
edit to say
Having looked again it looks like a undressed weld probably best to flat it back and re coat in that area

Grind/file the weld flat before fitting the panel would be my approach. My Indy chassis needed a bit of fettling here and there to get a good fit on
some parts.
A shame if you have a powder coated chassis though

Thanks for your responses.
I thought that was going to be the answer, but didn't want to mess the powdercoat up.
Nevermind, at least it won't be visible when the panels are fitted.
Cheers
