But the rear panel does not fit (or at least it won't fit my Stuart Taylor chassis)

We bought the luego panels for our book chassis locost a couple of years ago and all I can say is I hope that the fit has improved since the new man owns it now. we have the complete set for the velocity and not one of them is any near perfect, had to completly remake the top edge of the rear panel as it would not fit over one side or the hoop. The scuttle was not a complete mirro image of itself, the side panels had to be bent again at the bottom edge, the nose cone was all over the place and no it was not my welding.Only wished I had looked around a bit more at the time

That's making them too quick and pulling from mould when green...the damn stuff as a mind of it's own and still cures for ages afterwards.

I made a cycle wing real quick and popped it from the mould way to soon, left it on my bench but sat on the wonkavation.....cured with a twist so it did....
