Brief Description: Hinged Fuse Panel 2 - Catch

The catch was made from 0.032" aluminium and the left ones were 4.8" x 2" and the right was 4.8" x 2.5". I don't propose to go into detail about how to bend because if you've got this far into the build you will be able to figure it out ;-) The panels were 0.040" (suited my spare metal pile) and were 9" x 6.5" and 4" x 6.5" I used a hand seamer to squeeze the catch throat as in the initial fit the panel was quite loose. Completed installation
