scuttle plans

Does anyone out there have a set of plans for the front and rear of the scuttle, have made one but doesn't fit Lolocost screen I have already bought. Would be nice to follow the line's from the nose cone. Cheers Gents.

Interesting this scuttle thing - I don't know if I'm missing something obvious but It doesn't seem that straight forward to me.

I intend to buy a Lolocost windscreen and they provide a profile for the bottom of this but it is obviously not the full width of the scuttle and I do not know which point along the scuttle this fits.

It is al right the book saying cut a piece of X times X and round the corners but it is not as simple as that is it.

Also having made the front panel in what way does this translate to the sloping profile at the rear.

I keep thinking it ought to be more straight forward than it seems beacuse every one else has done it with no problems at all.

If it is me being stupid then let me know beacuse I could do with bloody well getting on with it.

tiger scuttle has vertical ends, no good sorry. Ended up playing about for a day to get the rough shape, had to do some research at snetterton with the locost racers. Good day out.
