C4.1 bodyshell cut lines

[RobW]

Anyone got any pictures of the rear of their cut out shell? Struggling with how much to cut away.

I gave up last night because I've always been a bit cackhanded at cutting shells at the best of times and knew I was about to muck it up and end up without a shell for the weekend:(

Cheers

Hi Rob,
If you go on to CML's website and checkout the matt black shell, this will give you some idea for around the spur gear cover. I did this, and marked it out with a sharpie, then cut and test fit, cut a bit more until its right.

I left the back long, then kept cutting it up a bit at a time - straight. So the back of the shell rests on the gearbox - it can't go any lower. Make sure to leave the sides long, but check for clearance of driveshaft + wishbone at full suspension compression.

My shell is with Carl Latham being sprayed up, expecting to have it back Thursday. When I do I'll take loads of photo's, so if you can wait until then to cut I'll do the photos as soon as I can.... unless somebody else puts some up in the meantime... :)

Thanks, Chris. Did what you said and used the pictures of the black shell and think I am about there. Erred on side of caution and will trim a bit more when I see others in the flesh.

Just off to spray another one colour wonder and I think the car is nearly there:)
