how the hell do you remove the front slam panel and or attaching panels ? ? ?

[hayesey]

the front slam panel is welded on.  You'll need a spot weld drill or use an angle grinder to grind through the top part of the metal where the spot welds are.  Obviously you'll have to replace the panel with a new one after this!  I riveted mine on so it can be removed easily to take the engine out.

what do you mean by "attaching panels"?

[TomG401991]

well i thought bolts along the top of slam panel and the two closest bolts on the wing nooo so i am goin to have to cut and weld (N) dam !!

[hayesey]

yeah you'll need to take the wings off first too.  Right ball-ache really

[TomG401991]

proved wrong ! ! might check in a haynes to see what they say

cheers for your help though mate (Y)

hahaaa sucsess

managed to get the rad/cowling/fan and charger pip off without removing the slam panel

well chuffed

[hayesey]

oh right, yeah you can get all that out without removing the slam panel, the only reason to remove the slam panel is to replace it.  Glad you are sorted
