A bit more done…
These are the 'fir trees' that will hold the head rests to the aero humps.
So I took a scrap piece of plywood and drilled a test hole.
Which turned out to be the perfect size for a friction fit.
Then it was time to cut yet another piece off what remained of my bulkhead.
And put a test hole in that.
I then put a hole in the bit of plywood I had been testing leather tacks on.
As the leather will be pulled over the back of the plywood, I joined the two pieces together like so.
The front face would look something like this.
Except that there would be the foam and leather in front of the fir tree 'dome'.
Despite the fact the fibreglass off cut was not completely flat, this was a very solid join.
I then drilled four holes in each of the real plywood head rest pieces and sanded all the edges down.
Before adding the first coat of wood preserve.
Given the cold weather, it may take a while to get a couple of coats on both sides.
So until next time, take care, Paul.
