Hi All,
I've been looking for a decent nose cone and matching scuttle for a decent price for ages now without luck. What I want is something to fit a book chassis, but taller above the chassis rails if possible, to minimise the need for bulges.
The ideal ones would be off the Luego Velocity, but they come with a hefty price tag. A cheap alternative would be lolocost, but I’ve heard of quality issues with these.
Does anyone know of / recommend a supplier, or better yet, have some to sell? I’m getting a bit desperate now as my chassis is almost complete, except for the radiator and intercooler mounts, which I can’t fabricate until I know how it will all fit under the nose

Thanks in advance,
Bill

The GTS Panther bodywork is book width, but an inch or so taller to clear tall engines or twin cams.

Do bear in mind though that its designed to be used with GRP side panels so it is a few mm wider than the top chassis rails, so you need to make aluminium side panels that dont sit right up flush to the sides of the top rails, if that makes sense.

No I dont, but if you dont get an answer I'll measure mine when i get home in a week or 2. Someone will probably measure one for you though.

hi mate, the GTS nose and scuttle are between 1"1/4 and 1"3/4 higher than standard. as david said it was designed with taller engines in mind, Zetec and Xe fit no problem, the only one so far that doesn't quite fit is the duratec 2 litre, it needs a slight bump in the bonnet for the oil filler cap.
Cheers.

Probably a dumb question, but how high is standard? The book is very vague on the subject.
