13 Fitting-Closing Panels
NOTE:
The rear closing panels are fitted inside the
rear wheel arch. They stop mud, water etc
making its way between the body and the
chassis side panels.
Before fitting the rear closing panels and
after fitting the front. Fill the gap between
the body side panel and the aluminium side
panel with expanding foam supplied in the
kit.
They are aluminium panels not GRP but
must be fitted at this stage rather than with
the rest of the panels.
1 Fit the closing panel into the gap
between the arch and the side panel.
Seal with silicone sealant and rivets (Fig
13.1).

2 Fit the front closing panel between the
front bulkhead and the body side. Some
of the driver’s bulkhead panels rivets
will require drilling out.

14 Fitting – Boot Panels
NOTE:
There are three alluminium boot panels
required to cover the boot area, the outer
two are riveted in place and the center panel
is secured with Dzus fastners.
1 Position the pre cut boot cover panels
on to the rear top section of body work.
Align them so that they are equally
gaped.
2
Secure the outer two panels one at a
time to the GRP rear section with
clamps.
3 Drill four holes round the lip of each
alluminium panel through the GRP rear
section.
4 Secure in place with 4mm large head
rivets.
NOTE:
The middle panel requires a strip of
aluminium along the rear bulkhead. The
middle panel slots under the lip.
5 Position the lip over the rear bulk head
and note the rivets required to hold it in
place are already fitted to the bulkhead
panel.
6 Drill out the required rivets and secure
with standard 4mm rivets (Fig 14.2).
