I put my sheet of ali in place and gaffer taped it to the nosecone and scuttle then ratchet strapped round it to bend it in place before fitting the engine. Then I went underneath and drew round the bay with a marker, removed it and cut it with an allowance for the ledge front and back.

We did pretty much what peteff did, except the engine was in place, we also used the second nearest lamp post (the nearest being hexagonal!).

Boggle is going to fold the lower returns at work today which should finish it off nicely. Rescued attachment boggle bonnet.jpg
