Haynes body panels

I’m in need of a new scuttle, bonnet and nose cone for my Haynes
Roadster. Anyone know if these parts made for a MK Indy would fit?

Thanks

I have a good robin hood nosecone i can take some measurements from or you could take come measurements of you car and people can then compare it against any spare nosecones they may have laying about.

I could take some measurements from my Indy panels, if that would be any help?

There used to be a file somewhere with all of the Equinox body panel measurements. It may have been on here, or it may have been on the Haynes Roadster forum - not sure if that still exists though...

Here you go: https://forums.haynes.co.uk/showthread.php?t=13563

Voucht/Sylvain is on here so he may still have them...


... And Equinox still look to exist: https://equinoxproducts.co.uk/fibreglass-moulding/store/

Measurements for the MK:
Bonnet: scuttle width across chassis 94cm
Scuttle height at centre 27cm
Nose Cone width across chassis 68cm
Nose cone height at centre 18cm
Length at centre line 870cm
You can work out the nose cone and scuttle dimensions from these.
The scuttle is 34cm long at the chassis rails.

Will do tomorrow.
The back (dash) side of the MK scuttle lines up with the kink in the top chassis rail
