Alloy Base Plate
Headed to the Summerhouse to take shelter from the rain and make a bit of progress….
Marked up some aluminium, leaving a bit of extra metal at either end.
Drilled a couple of pilot holes.
Which allowed me to work outwards with my tin snips.
Until the hole was cut, with rounded corners.
Then it was time to file / sand all the edges.
I then cut out four pieces that will be used to rivet the leather to the base plate.
Not easy to see in the photo, but this is a slightly different approach to the gear lever.
( Where the fixing plate was a single piece going all the way around. )
Next job will be to put a curve into the panel, remembering this is the sunny side up.
Until next time, take care. Paul.
