Scuttle Max width??

Wanna order a sheet of Carbon Fibre for the dash today, can anybody tell me what the maximum width of the scuttle (ie max width across the passenger bay) on a standard book chassis. My bad memory tell me 42".

Jasper,

Mine is 46", but then my chassis is 4" wider than book, which means, I guess, that you're right!!

Hi Simon,

Did you make or buy your scuttle? I've done a +4(ish) chassis and want to buy a scuttle.

Thanks,

James

James,

I'm in the process of making it. Plug nearly finished - then I'll mould it etc etc

Doing side/rear panels in fibreglass first - bit of practice before I get into complex shapes.

Probably might be quicker for you to buy a standard scuttle and chop it down the middle, and widen it. It's what I've done with nosecone (see pics in archive)

You should be able to do it in a day!!!
