    Right so I've got a nrg mc3
    I like to know if the typhoon panels would fit on the rear I know I'd have to change seat and bucket
    Seen a few posts on here few saying no you need to chop the frame?
    But then I see a post where a moderator on here said they would with no modifications (but cant find it now )
    Has anyone done it ?
    Thanks

    The rear of the frame is different so typhoon panels won't fit NRG frame, I think seat bucket is the same !

    All the information I have is from here
    Definitely seat and bucket need changing
    So many mixed comments that I've found regarding this
    Was hoping to find a definite answer as don't want to spend over 100£ on panels if the frame needs modifying
    I know you have a lot of knowledge marsh but is that 100% fact have you tried it?
    Or know someone that has done it
    Or should I find a knackered typhoon panel and offer it up

    As the more I look at the angles of panels for the typhoon and nrg and seat height for both
    With typhoon seat and bucket looking like it seats hi
    I have tried to do as much research as possible the typhoon seat and bucket are different part numbers to the nrg and the typhoon bucket seems to be longer in height
    With the angles changing due to seat height
    And panel different shape it does look like it would work even with the frame difference
    Yes rear light and number plate holder would need some sort of fabrication
    I just dont want to cut back of frame if not needed

    The frames are different 100%, the typhoon has a rounded back end where the the NRG is flat. Best get a typhoon and nrg frame to check back to back !

    You could do with some measurments off a frame so you get it welded in the right place !
