Yep.
Thats what I have, you just need to trim the side shape so that it sits flat on the chassis.
I think you will find that it gives the lowest bonnet line of all the options, so if that is tight you may have to measure.
Remembering from a very long time ago I believe the back edge of the cone to be 5.5" above the top chassis tube. but i should check on that
yourself if it is crucial to your design.

Thanks for that, could you at your leisure measure and confirm the 5.5 inch ?
Does/can anyone tel me the height of a catering van scuttle from the top chassis rail, engine side ?
