Gruppe M Scoop Question

[Clay99]

Just aquired a Gruppe M well chuffed many thanks to rossy t. Having fitted it today I have found that I need to remove the scoop every time I would wish to open the bonnet. Is it possible to shave the scoop down to make the bonnet open? Also how would I go about re-laquering the scoop after I have shaved the scoop down or is it sealed by some form of clear resin???

Just remove the camlock screws each time

Is that the only way??

Are you using the scuttle panel provided with the kit or is it a DIY one?

After getting annoyed with having to remove the scoop everytime i opened the bonnet, i ended up taking the scoop of and sanding it down on the belt sander at work, i had to take at at guess about 3mm of it and that has done the trick as it no longer catches when opening the bonnet,

as for re-laquering i didn't bother to do it, as once i sanded it down it wasn't rough on the edges and it's not as if carbon will rust without it, oh and i'm a perfectionist so it's not as if i did a rough job as you cant tell it's been done, :twisted:

The scuttle panel is a DIY one.

You only need to take off a few mills, wont make ANY difference if you take too much off.
