indy square meets round
graememk - 19/5/06 at 02:28 PM

ok bodywork, my indy for some reason the square back pannel meets the round arch used to be flush but now it sticks out a bit and its now bonded and rivited on, what have other people done to make it fit flush again, i'm sure mr SVA might have a prob with mine.

I saw some at stoneliegh that had very neat aluminium plates folded around the dodgy join.
And one that had been filed to blend in and painted.

Take a look at "Hellfires" webb site,they have used a aluminium shaped plate,to neatly finish it off,if I recall there are some pictures of it on there site.

thats an idea hellfire, did you have another plate behind that one or just the one on top.

Thats what I spotted at Stoneliegh.

Just the plate on top. It's all pretty solid underneath.

What I did with mine on my MNR was to fill the back of the joint with resin so it was a stable solid joint then carefully filled the gap with gel coat. Some careful rubbing down then polished to a gloss finish to match the rest of the body with 2 grades of compound. Although you can see the joint due to the difference in shape either side it looks very neat.
