That was the first Plastic Cat Jaguar built we did the tooling end of 86 and this was 87 race season, I had the carbon fiber stringers faced with a Aluminum angle and there were 3 positions possible for the engines with 24" ,36" and 48" Jack shafts so getting the balance right was no big deal.

Our truck driver at Jaguar complained about his problems finding outlets in the dry pits in those days for our battery chargers Also I was hammering the guy that jack did not want to EVER hear a clunk when he pushed the button to light it,So my remedy was to put large solar cell panels on the deck.you can see them in this photo BTW the engines spun over like small blocks.

OK Check and see if someone has the mold and is building that boat and will sell you one or we will just make a new hatch.
