As planned , this afternoon I clad the tunnel sides on the inside of the framework , two little exterior panels had to be fitted at the rear due to handbrake linkage etc.. and a small removable panel is in place at the rear that exposes the handbrake pivot when removed ...
I also made the hardboard templates for cladding the top of the tunnel , these were delivered to my aluminium man on the way home so he can make them asap ......they are getting some swaiging put into them and I will brace the back of the front one with aluminium box section to stiffen it up ..both panels will be screwed , not rivetted ...so access to prop , rear of gearbox and handbrake is still achievable ....
