Ideas,can anyone confirm if the pheonix bonnet fits the stylus main tub shape at the front bulkhead, appreciate bonnet tilts vs fixed front. Just wondered if it's feasible to swop. thanks.

At a guess I'd say no but it is just a guess.

If you're serious to have a go then I could possibly make up a paper/cardboard pattern of my flip front when open
That wont be perfect though due to it expanding a touch once open . Engine's obviously in the way for a really good pattern. Have you bought a Stylus
If you're not too far from Aston Clinton , you can always come and make a pattern of my Stylus flip front yourself

Hi thanks for the comments, i have an option on a stylus but always wanted a pheonix as such. hence the can swop the bonnets if cust the blukhead to suit. thanks for the offer of measuring. If I go ahead will advise if required.
Was the stylus and fury the same wheelbase and track as the striker/pheonix. I know the chassis was wider in the seating area as such.

The Stylus is 7ft 1in wheelbase and 5ft track from memory . Lower chassis rails alongside the doors enabled larger doors depth wise then the two rails upper/lower are 1.4mm steel stitched between to replace the strength. Cockpit is wider.
