Re: 41DegreesSouth Build Thread
Following on with the OCD theme.... I haven't posted any pictures of another little project that sucked far to much time as I was trying to get the truck going in December.
I wanted a sun visor shelf, but hadn't seen anything like I wanted commercially available. So me and Princess made a hardboard pattern, transferred it to sheet steel, then made final tweaks to the pattern. We then cut a final copy. I ended up using 3/64" plate in case anyone's head ends up making contact with it, but I think 1/16" would be better. Either way I put a small brace in the middle and it's more than stable/strong enough. Got some Heep sun visors that mounted on a 'flat' plane (but still need further mods!) Had a friend come and glue some vinyl onto it and I'm really happy with how it came out. It's pop riveted on around the top of the window frame, just inside the window rubber, a small bracket left and right side, and the already mentioned middle brace.
