Dpaz - I'll try to find a Countryman one day, as they are HUGE.

Made a start…
Managed on 30+ mile trip last weekend, when it was so warm I could wear shorts!

Unfortunately, I didn't manage to get any pictures from that trip.

Still, I do have a few photos from my attempt at making templates for my alloy cockpit interior.

This is the smallest of the three panels I now have and it will go on the rear cockpit wall.



However, it didn't take long to realise that I couldn't actually reach the back wall with the seat belts in place.



So I started on the driver's side instead.





Although I still need to remove the seats & seat belts to get access to the sides as well.
- To allow me to mark out a proper circle for the seat belt mount, where there is currently a cut off.
- To extend and run this panel around the rear corners, where the rear panel will go over the top.

Note:
I will make a separate removable access panel to cover the bolts holding the side mirrors in place.

Here is a very rough idea of how the panel will look and the mess it is going to cover.



I already have a load of these Torx screws to hold the panels in place.



But I've just ordered a load of washers that I think would be a good idea to spread the load.

Once I've make some more progress with the passenger side panel I need to commit some time to doing this work.
( As I will be effectively off the road as soon as the seats come out. )

Until next time, take care, Paul.
