Fabricating the cover mounts

This week is about making the tabs for the cover mounts.

Started off with some Camloc products. I thought I'd need seven but, after having ordered them, I changed my mind about where to locate them. I also ordered the type that you use a flat blade screwdriver with but again, after having received and tried them I have decided to go for the cross head type (which are now on order).



First job was to make a card template for the tabs.



Here they are marked up and cut out.



...and with the holes for the Camloc fasteners. After I took this picture and tried a few tabs in place I also altered the design slightly, making them a bit narrower, so they fit better.
