Try rs turbo breakers in Southampton, they sorted all my parts for the rs, wings, rear arch repair panels, front valence and filler cap.
They had quite a good contact for panels!

Re: Scuttle panel help
Could fit a later model one if ya want mate, Clark wanted a mk5 one on his car so he got one through work (ford panel) and I fitted it.
Needed a little tweaking while fitting, and I had to réclame it a few times but once fitted a little flex here and there to seat it and job done. Looks good too, I think if I ever had to do mine I would fit a mk5 one

Re: Scuttle panel help
Pass mate your have to ask him.
The big difference though with clarks one is it only have 1 vent each side, not 2 each side like the mk3, so if your wanting it to be a mk3 then the later ones are not te way to go lol

Re: Scuttle panel help
Not much to be fair mate, I clamped it to the support under it first and it wouldn't line up right against the bulk head (windscreen part) so had to start again and I clamped it along the windscreen lip first, then tweaked it down and about until I was happy with it then clamped it to the support and spot welded it up.
Once all sport welded I had to Tweek it here and there to get it to sit right, once happy I brazed the edges up.
In short it wasn't a direct fit it in place clamp and weld, but tbh I would t expect any panel to be like that anyway, if it is then bonus.
If you go that way, just make sure you have decent clearance between the scuttle and underside of bonnet before final welding I would say

Re: Scuttle panel help
The MK4/5 ones should be pretty much interchangeable, they only real difference is that the MK4/5 one has holes in the recess for the windscreen wipers to allow water to drain out. On the MK3 the nuts under the wiper arm caps corrode and the rusty water/residue has nowhere to drain to.
Genuine ones are very hard to come by, pattern ones are no longer made for the MK3.

Many thanks Tom.
So there is no chance a wizard like you has or could find said illusive MK3 scuttle then..?

Re: Scuttle panel help
Unfortunately not, MK3 Fiesta panelwork is very hard to find.
I've had one come in all the time I've been dealing in NOS and it went to a member on here.
