I believe the bulkhead and dashboard were mounted entirely seperately from the body, they certainly were on Gordon England saloons. I expect the fabric is the standard way of preventing draft and fumes from entering the passenger compartment. On the saloons there was a leather joint between the edge of the bulkhead and the scuttle. The design allowed for the bits related to the engine to be fixed to the same bit of chassis, but the main body fixings were further back, so chassis twist did not strain the bodywork.

The dash is part of the body structure on Cup Models.

Thanks Ruairidh; I was surmising, having studied only a saloon many years ago.

The saloons I have seen are as you describe.
