The Brookfields Special

[Ian Williams]

Bit late now 4mm or 5mm Ply would be adequate and would not need kerfing, you can laminate cockpit edges for strength, do this round a former and it will hold shape when the glue dries. I would make the scuttle top from aluminium, wiring and edge is easy, look at my thread for tips and ask if you need advice. I would take another look at the profile of your scuttle, Austin used a particular radius where the bonnet meets the scuffle, take a top profile if you can and try to ensure your lines are fair otherwise you risk a strange break line where the Bonnet ends. Not trying to be critical Howard just point out errors I have made in the past and which may help you. Crack on!
