A Mixed Bag:
I had just removed the covers & started work on the cockpit side lips when it started raining.
So the covers went straight back on and I had a major sense of humour failure.
Eventually it cleared up enough for me to try again...
I test fitted the cockpit side panels and made a few minor adjustments around some of the edges.
Eventually both sides were able to slot into place underneath the new side lips.
Although they are all just roughly balanced in position for now.
Passenger Side:
Driver's Side:
Sorry this next photo is a bit blurred.
Then I made a template for the final section along the driver's side.
Before cutting that out of plywood, along with a replacement piece (new section on top right).
These slotted into place here:
And here:
Which means I now have the complete jigsaw puzzles for both sides, with just the main rear cockpit panel to go.
Added fibreglass matting along the gaps on the outside edges of the cockpit side lips.
( Where the tape had been. )
I left that to set, while I got on with some domestic chores.

As it turned out, I only had time to make a start on the painting/treatment of the various panels that need to be topped up.
So until next time, take care, Paul.
