hi all. i'm having problems with my new top dash rail. i have fitted a new scuttle and it lines up perfectly with everything, ie windscreen surround add bulkhead, but when trying to fit the dash rail I clamp it in the middle of the scuttle and there is about a half inch gap to the flange at either end of the scuttle. it is as if the scuttle has flattened out when fitting it so the curver don't match anymore. Both panels are genuine heritage so should be pretty good. Any help will be appreciated. will post some pics later

Had the same problem, had to use a hammer and bash the hell out of it to get it in line

Hi guys - this has helped me aswell !!
Question is - at what angle have you fitted to dash top - when offered against the bulkhead it wants to throw the panel edges down - where is the reference point to weld the edges to the A post ? Or can anyone measure between the lower dash to top dash panel please ?
