Scuttle / Full roll cage
I did loose fit of my scuttle over the weekend as I had started cutting the holes for my switches.
I know that the back corner/edge of the scuttle should line up with the crease line in the bodywork, but as I have a full roll cage this stops the
scuttle from going back far enough.
Has anyone else had this problem and do I need to smooth/cut a section out of the scuttle to make it go back
Cheers

might be handy though if it fits through the scuttle as it would make a great windscreen frame and somewhere to mount the mirrors

It's not that far into the scuttle it is only about 25mm, but it's still 25mm out

We also have the full cage and don't have an issue. I would advise you to put everything in place and ensure that the nosecone meets the side
panels at the front nicely, then install the bonnet with the scuttle and you should be able to see if you really need to modify anything. Don't
drill or modify anything before you put them in place and are happy with the fit.
We have about a cardboard thickness of a gap between the cage and the scuttle panel and this way everything lines up nicely. We did have to trim the
nosecone a little to ensure that it lines up with the side panels, but you will be able to see that.
I hope it helps...

Scuttle / Full roll cage
Well spent this morning cutting the nose cone so that we could mount the bodywork complete.
The problem is not as bad as I originally thought, but the bonnet will not fit it is about 8-10mm too long. It wouldn't be a problem if I could
move the scuttle back but it is fully against the roll cage
Anyone have any ideas apart from cutting the scuttle
