I haven't finalised how I shall fit the body but the aim is to do so in a manner which will allow me to remove it. That is one of the reasons that I am going for a flip back - so that the middle tub is a manageable size.

By hook or by crook, the chassis bolts will be accessible. This may mean access holes or panels, but I am not fixing anything that I can't undo.

The internal cockpit panels will act as the bracing/fixing around the top of the cockpit. I plan to add a large horizontal flange along the inside of the side panels and these will sit on the sills and sandwich a thin layer of sealant and be bolted.

The rear deck has a neat fixing courtesy of the roll hoop appendages.

The bulkhead will be attached via flanges and ali panelling.

Please note: The above information was correct at the time of going to press and will almost certainly change completely within the next 24 hours and each subsequent 24-hour period.
