Have a look at Hellfire's car. They made a lovely ally cover, round to square in profile. It's the neatest solution to the MK panel join
I've seen.

yes thats how it ends up on the old panels, looks crap dont it. I think they have made some new panels now to meet the IVA 2.5mm radius.

If that is a fail, wouldnt your ali strip in the pic also fail?
How long can i resist the temptation to drop a V8 in?

I got a new back panel to fix this problem but they don't the original Indy chassis and looks even worse with a half inch gap all the way across
and down the side.
Last thing I'll ever buy from MK.
After filling the gap (you wouldn't need to do this bit) I carefully sanded the joint flat and then stuck a strip of vinyl over it.

Sorry for the slight hijack, but I was going to post regarding this area on my +442. As the bolts for my rear shocks go in from the outside, I
haven't covered this part yet, thought of putting a plate over it and fitting a large rubber plug. Any ideas?
It looks like the Midget is winning at the moment......
