I'll probably get slated for this, but the GTS W7DE is based upon a McSorley +442 plan, so may be worth following it up with them for
price/availability of parts?
I used two individual Caterham aeroscreens on my build, as they're sided and fot the scuttle quite nicely. I spent a month or two hunting
around for an aeroscreen for my W7DE, and no luck - only other option is either a windscreen, or custome made aero jobbie home-made using
acrylic/perspex as some on here have done.
Artificial intelligence is no match for natural stupidity!

Triton is one to get a hold of. He can point you in the right direction re. Haynes, which I believe is basically McSorley size. Also, go on the Haynes
Roadster forum.
Rear panel. Making one isn't that difficult (not super easy, but if I can do it...). Ditto Bonnet. If you cannot find +442 wide parts in GRP,
you can widen book width ones. Search "widen arches" on here to find out how.

Is the McSorley +442 wider than say, a MK?

yes, MK is 42 (which is book width) C'ham Series 3 is 39, and McSorley is 4" wider than book, so 46" wide.
