    Looking for help with 28/9 roadster cowl panel dimensions.
    I have a very rustty front cowl and are trying to fabricate some patch panels, I dont have a lot to go by as the feet are bad as well, so if anyone could measure a good cowl panel for me it would be a great help.
    Thanks in advance

    If you have these measurements, it would be a big help as well.

    Thanks

    I have a pair of originals that are going to be for sale.
    I can also get measurements in the am, just to compare.

    Also, a super solid firewall.

    I'm guessing metric. These measurements are to the corners, not including the riveted feet. I could trace the quarters and stick that in the mail? I found the measurents to be almost exactly what was posted above. Tricky pieces to make, though, curved in two directions.

    Thanks very much, I think I can make it work with the measurements, I have a shrinker stretcher so hopefully I can make it fit
