I'm in the process of mounting my bodywork, and I understand the datum is set by the small arched section of bodywork (bulkhead capping), that mounts directly behind the seats, and between the roll cage.
That being the case, at what height should it be mounted? Bottom edge, parallel with the underside of lateral box section on to which is mounts?

I talked this through at Marlin when I picked my body up and I was advised it should be 40mm from the box to the outer top edge of the capping. That said, I didn't fix mine permanently until the sides were test fitted too. To be honest though, the 40mm was about spot on for me. IIRC that is *almost* the same as being aligned with the bottom edge of the box.
