stephenh 940 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Mike, you are resurrecting a thread which is over 14 months old! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stephenh 940 Posted March 15, 2020 Share Posted March 15, 2020 Morris, if you refer back to my build thread, you will see that I had a problem with the fit of these panels, and it turned out the Simon did as well. I used cad to get the correct profile, then bought a sheet of thin aluminium from B & Q which (as it was very thin) I riveted a piece to each of the original Westfield panel on the "blind" side, and recut to the profile of my cardboard cutout. After riveting in place, I then used a generous amount of silicon sealant to get everything reasonably well sealed off. You could buy a thicker piece of aluminium and completely re-make the panels, but I couldn't really see the point.as once you've fitted the rear plastic inner wings, and the cockpit is trimmed none of this can be seen, so not cosmetic, just functional.
