Bulkhead, side panels, bonnet - What should it look like?
Sloan85 - 17/3/13 at 10:56 PM

I will soon be fitting side panels but was wondering what happens where the bulkhead sits on the side panels at the edge when the bonnet is on too? Do I need to put a trim on top of the side panel for the whole length that the bonnet will sit on it or does the small gap not matter?

Does anyone have photos of their bulkhead that shows this location?

Cheers

Trim (if necessary possibly not) so that bonnet sits directly onto top of sidepanel as per the scuttle
I put a bit of helicopter tape on the side panel only to prevent gel to gel contact with the bonnet , you don't want the thickness of foam tape IMHO of course

I used self adhesive 5mm foam, stuck to the flange on the bonnet, and 3mm foam between the scuttle and side panel, and where
the bonnet touches the nose cone and scuttle.

This diagram may help in the fitting(not my work, just found it somewhere on here )
