Thanks for all the suggestions.
The body-shell was made some years ago by Vintage Wings and, I believe, was based on a genuine car so it's probably fairly accurate.
I think I will try the Kellog CAD suggestion and simply make up a dummy bulkhead from card to trim away until it fits. The only real issue will be getting and maintaining the correct angle between the vertical and sloping portions of the bulkhead but we'll see how easy or otherwise it may be.
In anticipation I'm also going to contact Bill Sheehan as a removable panel would probably be a distinct advantage in the future.
I'm not sure why removing the gear box and engine separately would be easier. I'm not intending to remove the clutch pedal but only take off the foot pad so I shouldn't have to disturb the return spring. I know this can be done with a bit of fiddling as it's the approach I have taken in the past.
John.
