Cooling Plate - Part 2

Cooling Plate - Part 2

i bought the allumunium sheet from bunnings... around $15


then i traced the cardboard mock up, and cut the sheet with jigsaw machine and use metal sheet cutter for tricky bits...


this bits is hard to get it smooth... so i will have to dremel it with a sander drum...


here is the smooth edge after i sand it with dremel...


then i drill 4 holes for the clip holder...


i put the foam window seal with double tape backing (around $4)


after around 15min sanding with 60 grit sand paper (to create brushed effect) and polish it with brasso... finally its ready for test fit...


the fitting it tricky as i creat enough clearance for the lock at the bumper... but i forget to create clearance for bonnet latch hook... so when i close it, it bend the allumunium sheet.... lucky its fixable.... i had to cut extra 1cm to provide that clearance....

voila! finish this part... i might paint it later... if i can be bothered...
