Ok a revision from last post. I went back to the Pappas pictures & if you look at GalRes682 you can see the Centurion tracks are raised off the slop & right up close to the 257 hull. This brings it in almost perfect 
Unfortunately this makes Richards estimate incorrect. My Back plate is 5mm thick. The new lid is cut at 350mm. The lid at 350mm + 5mm plate is exactly 355mm. Also remember the Centurion seat at the front of the slope was moved over 1-2mm to try & fit all the parts on. Phil I would get yours cut at 356-357mm & that will be spot on buddy. I can live with what I have which is maybe a little over a 1mm shortness
