Title: 31Q-2 & 4 thru 7: Upper fuse fabrication
Just a little fabrication of the spacers and angle pieces. Bent the tab on the 1/8” angle with a mallet on the vice. No problem. Separated the other light angle pieces and panel support angles. Some upper fuse components are laser cut. Just documenting the pieces and proceeding with prep of the parts. Will hold off on final riveting. F-1068BL&R F-1068A F-1044A 8/17: made the bends on the sub panel. Just clamped to the kitchen table (in the a/c) and slowly bent with wooden blocks. Came out ok. 8/19: got all of the parts deburred and then reassembled the skeleton for real this time. Installed the angle brace and drilled the hole at the firewall. I knew it was going to be close, but after drilling, it definitely didn't meet edge distance. Gabri Syed a new one and was much better the second time. Realized that the spacer I cut was an inch too short. Proceeded to flute the angles next to the panel to match the curvature. Then realized one of the angles was too short also. I read 11 3/16”. It clearly says 11 13/16”. I don't have any spare stock to cut another one so ordered one from Vans along with stock for a new spacer. Will need to pause on this section till next week.
