Measurements using a corn-flakes packet, the only large enough card piece we have (as opposed to cardboard).


Cutting out of coroplast (aka Correx here in the UK). Note that I have the tubes (grain ?) going top to bottom instead of left to right. This is because the curve is mainly side to side so its easier to bend this way.

Left is a mirror of the right.

First try with the pieces in place. Need to fix them more securely and see what happens. Will get some bolts and large washers tomorrow.
Looking good! and you're shaming me into considering the same for the iS..

Where did you get the Correx?

I really should do it, but at the moment, the car is only operational member of the 5 I have on fleet
