Well cleaned these up to refit
Image
i have taken templates so can now offer them in 1.5mm steel.
i questioned wether they do any good and can confirm that with them in place and the outer wing cut away i was suprised how mmuch rigidity they gave to the inner panel, i then removed them and it was just floppy,so yes they do stiffen it up considerably and no doubt vw in their wisdom thought so too
Image
os flap refurbished and fitted :D
Image
it is now very well mounted and secure
Image
mix of fresh mushroom pasta and savoury mince pie (my local as the prop is italian and knows how to cook ) :D
Image
cooler back out to finalise stuff in here
Image
flap fitted
Image
note the bracket now fixes to the lug i added to the cowl
Image
Si continued the theme by using very nice cap heads here :D
Image
very minimal rubber coat added along the under siide edges so its not really seen
Image
onwards we go
