    Chain drilled with a 10mm drill bit, prised up to perfection, then hammered back down with @Barneyrubble's club. lol
    Why oh why not bend it sideways where there's no corrugations??!!!

    That's what it looks like. 6-8" across, inside engine bay on right, gives access to the fuel filler. :)
     
  18. Oh ok, never heard it called thAt before lol
    Ok if you can give me the measurements for the engine bay parts soon please I may cut today!

    I forgot to measure yesterday, I got involved in a breakdown that distracted me. You could guess from the pic? 3 troughs with all the next high bit each side, wrapped down round the corner with and inch or 2 of sloped bit x the bit I haven't measured. I'm going to have to make the hole bigger before I cover it as it's a bit mangled around the edges. If yours has an engine hatch it should be easy to judge from my pic? I'll measure today but not sure when I'll be back. If you're ready to chop first and wouldn't mind, you can call me after 11am on 07775 853875 and I will have measured it. I'll be at workshop, but no internet there. :(
