Scuttle edge trimming stuff?
Having troubler finding some- our scuttle is double layered, so the edge is probably 3-4 mm altogether. The normal edgin you can buy wont fit, we need
something bigger- any ideas?
Last months kit car mag, with the westfield seight shows something that looks handy, but I dunno if westie will sell bits like that if you dont have
their kits! Maybe I'll give em a call...  Any other suggestions appreciated

Hi JM,
I used Morris minor scuttle trim,it's u shaped but with an extra bit on it that goes up, damn, i can't describe it! the u shaped bit goes over the
flange and the other bit sticks up as a buffer between the bonnet and the scuttle, you'd need two as it's not quite long enough
I hope you get what I mean!
Cheers
Chris

Take a look around a scrap yard. There are a whole host of trims you can take off cars there. I *Think* Metros with pop open rear windows (2 door)
have a kinda push over U channel if you just want a blind edge, if you want a channel with a seal edge, you will find those on most car door
frames.

Try them - in the past they've been more than happy to sell spare parts to anyone who's interested.
Just don't make a big thing about building a Locost - they may turn funny on you!

As an update, I found a trimming company not far from here who sell all sorts of this stuff, so I will pay them a visit one morning- I can see what I
am getting then! Thanks for the help people!
