Wide nose cone

I have built the 442E chassis to enable me to shoehorn in an M52 engine from a BMW but I'm struggling to source a nose cone.

Are there any manufacturers that supply a nose to fit a chassis this wide?

How wide do you need it? Haynes roadster bodywork should fit over the engine but depends on the chassis dimension.

I have all the bodywork dimensions if you need them

I don't think height is an issue but the chassis at its widest point at the front is 750mm.

Do you have a link to the eBay item, I've searched but cannot find it?

edit. Found it.

That's the equinox Haynes roaster nose one which I'm guessing is pretty much same measurements as vmax's one.

Hopefully you can get the links to work ok
