Now the rear panel is drilled, I removed it to
- Drill the pilot holes for the rear wheel carrier (red paint markers in evidence)
- Clean up all the swarf around the holes
- Remove the shroud & fit/glue on the trim
Trial fitting of the first length & how I am intending to do the join between the two types - to be glued in place in due course
The carpets were trimmed down flush with the chassis tube, shroud ends cut to length (note the trim thickness adds 2-3mm to the shroud arm length required), trim measured up & the shroud marked at 10cm intervals ready for drilling:
I decided to cut the shroud arms rather than bend along the horizontal chassis tubes. I have seen the later done on other builds - trying something different.

Quite a slow job, but it looks pretty decent so pleased with the result so far.
