Brief Description: Made and placed arm rest sides & cover
After my first experience with the wrong shape of parts, I was determined not to have to make more than one additional set. Doing the compound bend required for this part meant using the end of my bending brake, allowing the other portion of the part to extend beyond the bending plate. On the first try, I nailed the dimensions of these tricky parts. The night was still young so I charged ahead to bend and trim the new-style arm rest cover. This is unique to the dual stick configuration because it extends straight out for 680mm because there is no center stick to deal with. I really like the clean look of it and the new-style center console. Tomorrow I'll drill and cleco these parts in place after making the new 650 seat belt attachment doubler plates that go in the bottom back corner of the arm rest sides. In some ways today was kind of frustrating, but because of the excellent end result, I'm actually not drained by the detour.
