Scuttle 3 - fitting the transition panel

 


Eyeing the arc to decide where to stretch it.


Yesterday this was a flat sheet of aluminium. Now it is arced in both directions.


Adjusting the panel (stretching different areas with the wheeling machine) until finally it fits the arc of the front transition panel.


Flat front (transition panel) fitted to scuttle (At times like this I wish I had some clecos) using dome-headed M5 bolts.


Trimming begins.
