LAN e9 empresas y tribulaciones, an epiphany in 042BBlau. OPUS MAGNA. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

p.s. use also the nice thread, thanks to @Bmachine




come to the dashboard wood, as I have two of these, doing in pairs, on one of them I found a crack in the weakest point, it is a delicate part, not only narrow but also thin due to a cavity below, it is prone to cracks, both of mine were broken, this one was catastrophic , so did a compound to restore the structural rigidity by adding four strong pieces stitching the wood



first you need to carve a channel for each piece





once the glue is cured, you remove excess, and apply a wood mastic to fill the holes, finally even the surfaces



In this last pic you can see the 4th piece…it is in the edge of the plywood

This is a great tip. Which bulbs do you recommend for the turn signal?
Hello, I tell you guys a trick for led Turn signal I could use it with no problem but I had to install one relay from pep boys for each bulb and it works good with bright turn signal try it
 
it was a period of diverse things to do and practice, books can be used to learn new stories or act as a weight for templates, then sewing is always relaxing...ah holidays....

some tips,

before starting use only one side marked and place the other side with plenty of excess, you will cut it afterwards

sew 4mm inside the border or give 4 mm excess, when you turn it inside out you will have that small corner to introduce it in the rubber channel of the lateral console

before starting sewing just sew 1cm long in both extremes to somehow fix the 2 pieces so that they do not move in excess

enjoy
