Making support cheeks
Make support cheeks -B- with basic material Multiplex plate 600 x 120 mm, 25 mm thick. (Scheme 52)
Scheme 52
A4 = Straight pin 6 M6 x 40 / B = Support cheek
1. Work procedure
1.1. Transfer 160 mm radius to the multiplex plates.
1.2. Saw multiplex plates along the traced radius. The foot of the sabre saw must be tilted by 15° for this purpose.
1.3. Drill four 6 mm holes in the support radii of each support cheek to provide clearance for the Tucker studs on the hardtop body. Obtain the dimensions from the hardtop body.
1.4. Drill three holes, 20 mm deep, 6 mm for each support cheek, to secure the support cheeks -B- to the base plate -D- with the straight pins contained in the set of fittings -A4- 6 m6 x 40 - attach to the support cheeks -B-. (Scheme 52)
