Haynes Roadster bodywork fitting
Thatcher - 1/4/16 at 06:38 PM

Hi everyone,

I am thinking ahead to fitting my glass bodywork to chassis, could I ask you all what is the normal tried and tested way to fixing the side panels across the top edge underneath the scuttle and also underneath the nose.

Photo's would be a great help.

Thank you.

Tony.

They are the ones I have as well. Lasted whilst I built my car and I still have them.
I did once have a pz2 silver line screwdriver where the end of the driver snapped off on its first use.
