Scuttle fixing holes

Over the last couple of nights we have put in an hour or so each and
measured out and drilled holes in the scuttle to match up with the holes in the body that we drilled out to get at the rivnuts in the chassis.

Once again after lots of measuring we started off with small 3mm holes put the scuttle on, used a tiny alan key as a feeler, drilled out to 6mm and then marked through the hole in the scuttle with an ultra thin metal nibbed tip-ex pen this showed how the scuttle hole lined up with the body holes we then fettled with the dremmel to enlarge the 6mm hole a little in the direction indicated by the tip-ex marks on the body -

Here you can see some fettling in progress.


And here you can one of the bolts which now runs through the scuttle, through the body and into the chassis.

That was all a lot of work for four fixing bolts.
