fitting bonnet on

[DPC]

We have offered the bonnet onto the chassie but we have and 25mm gap please see photos.  Any suggestions how to fill this gap would be helpful

Make your dash 25mm taller so it sits under the back edge of the bonnet.

yes we can do that but what do we do with the rest of the front.  the dash is only 40% of the area

[richyb66]

Make the dash the full width of the car.

And extend your steering column so the hazard switch and the stalks aren't under the bonnet. Otherwise you'll need very long arms or very short legs to drive it comfortably.

Thanks for your reply we do appreciate it.  don't worry about the steering wheel its not in its final position but good point and noted.  has you got a picture of a dash that is full length, we would love to see one please.

I had same problem.   I bought a new dash from Kit Spares. I had the crocodile bonnet off as I was rebuilding the engine. Installed the dash and cut off the excess that was pass the chassis tube...... Ohh school boy error big gaps on top and sides......

The dash is from Kit Spares requires a little chopping to get it in.....
