Scuttle Radius
Have done a quick search and, quite surprisingly, found nothing of relevance.
Can anyone tell me the radius they've used for their scuttle? There doesn't seem to be much in the book other than "see plan",
which should prolly read "see nondescript plan."
Cheers,
Chris.
Edit - Have just found some plans, courtesy of Mix, in a previous thread
(http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/viewthread.php?tid=19416).
Prolly gonna go with his 128mm, but if anyone's done different I'd love to know.

A bit of slapstick never hurt anyone.

The original book suggests 3 inches radius, I havent got the second edition with me but I'm pretty sure it's the same in there.
cheers

Note to all: I really don't know when to leave well alone. I tried to get clever with the mods, then when they gave me a lifeline to see the
error of my ways, I tried to incite more trouble via u2u. So now I'm banned, never to return again. They should have done it years ago!

I took the nosecone radius and redrew the dimensions for the scuttle width and height, everything now lines up smoothly

If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

I marked out the profile of the nose onto a piece of 5mm mdf then overdrew according to my required height and width (ie front of scuttle) and cut
that out. I clamped that piece of wood to its proper place on car and put nosecone onto car and using a big stick with pen attached scribed the shape
of the rear of the scuttle onto another piece of mdf also held in the right place!!
