Make your own moto -compo top cover and modify the failed screw holes

Fix the position of the metal fittings

　Motomoppo's self -made top cover made by cutting ABS boards.It is good that it is completed, but after the painting is over, it has been found that the fixed bracket of the cover hits the seat.

In the situation where the metal fittings hitting under the seat and the metal fittings cannot be opened and closed

　When I pulled out the stored sheet, it lined up diagonally and overlapped about 2cm into the top cover.When I was making it, I completely forgot that, and I misunderstood that I would lifted up directly.Because the bracket was attached to the rear end of the top cover, it had already hit it.

　When the mounting position of the metal fittings was marked, I made a mistake and put it on the 11mm back than originally, but even if it is in the correct position, it is not enough.After all it will hit.It's no good from the beginning.

　Well, I can't help but regret that it has passed, so I would like to correct the mounting position this time.

I have to cheat the old screw hole

　There are two things to do to move the bracket position.One is to open a new screw hole for fixing the bracket.

　This is the same work as before, so there is no problem.Just draw a position mark in a new position and open it with a drill.I thought so at first, but I made a mistake 11mm, but I won't make the same anymore.Should not be.

　There is another problem.Old screw hole.If the hole is open, it looks bad.I have to do this.

　The simple thing is to put something and hide it.

　A suitable sticker is fine, but I found a good thing called a dummy rivet at a car supply store.As the name implies, it is a dummy rivet, with double -sided tape on the back of the rivet head.It is a fashion item that the panel appears to be riveted when pasted around the panel.

　This looks good and it's easy because you just put it on.

　Or maybe you can hit a real rivet.It is not so troublesome because it is only attached with a bachinabachi with a libertter.

　However, whether it is a dummy or a real thing, it is a neck that seems to have a hole in it.I want to do nothing if possible.

　So I decided to fill the hole.The work is a bit difficult, but once you paint from above, you can't even know the hole.

Mark the position of the new screw hole

　Let's open a new screw hole.The first work is the positioning of the screw hole in the cowl.

　The car is attached to the cowl side.This is the part that hooks the arm of the bracket.

The left keeper is the new installation position.One keeper is shifted before

　It's just right to move only one keeper forward, so put the keeper next to the existing keeper and make it a guide.

Draw a cross with a pencil with a guide with the keeper hole as a guide.

　If you draw a point in the center of the two holes on both sides of the car body, then connect the front, rear, left and right dots and points with a ruler, draw a line, and draw a cross.

Draw a positioning mark on the top cover

　Next is the top cover.

　Marked in the middle of the car hole and hole, insert the top cover and lock the front bracket.Like the keeper, connect the left and right marks with a ruler and draw a line to the top cover.This is the center line of the metal fittings.

　The distance between the bracket body and the key bar is the same as before.The first hole was made by the bracket and keeper, so the hole was widened (309th "I painted the top cover of the used motor component"), so don't forget to make it a position after the correction.

The drilling procedure is the same as before

　The hole will be opened in the same procedure as before (308th "" Used motor component, starting processing of self -made top cover, but a grudge mistake ...).There are a total of 8 locations on the left and right of the top cover, but it is quick to use a drill.

I re -drilled a hole in the cowl and the top cover

　After drilling, attach the bracket to complete.

The movement is completed successfully.However, the original screw hole is still noticeable.

　After all, the old screw holes are very noticeable.I guess it would have been nice if the top cover was black.

I will do the installation test

　I don't want to fail anymore, so I will do an interference test before blocking the hole.Attach the cowl to the body, insert the top cover and lock it.

In this case, you can open the metal fittings with plenty of time

　I had a lot of time between the metal fittings and the seat.I think it would be nice if the interval was a little narrower, but I would like to do this because I don't want to hit it again.

The right side was a giri

　I have noticed a new new place here.Greater on the right bracket just before hitting the lock lever of the sheet.

The black one is the lever that locks the sheet.It was only a few mm from the tip of the metal fittings

　If the metal fittings were a little bigger, I was hitting.After processing the left side, the right side was done in the same way, so I completely forgot about the lever.The seeds of failures are lurking here and there.Dangerous dangerous.

　Next time we will fill in the hole!
