wider nose and bonnet
Greetings fella's
I am knocking out a couple of new moulds for wider nose cones and bonnets for a couple of builders in and around Glasgow. Curious to see if anyone
else wants em? But will be flogging them on e-bay and through Turner Automotive anyway.
Cheers
Shug.

I was thinking of using a wider nose but I had in mind something in the Westie style

Yeah can do but suspect it will need to be deeper, what chassis u using? Need width at the rear flange of the nose to compare to what I have already.
From memory the westie or catering van nosecone is currently bout 1 1/2" short of width on a normal book chassis. If u use anything as tall as
the Pinto it needs to be deeper too. The Mk is the right depth but the bottom front if fecking ugly in comparisson to the cateringvan version (sori

Not exactly clear what I need yet the chassis is essentialy book but with the lower front wishbone pivot moved outwards by about 30mm each side. What
I want to do is cover the wishbone pivots both for SVA and to tidy up the front. I looked at the may mark has done his and while this adds more
complexity the result loks good see http://www.locostbuilders.co.uk/upload/2eBasic%20Bodywork.JPG
