Re: 55 Wagon Progress
Time for some brackets for the rear seat bottom retainers. Cut out some 19 gauge...
Drilled some holes for an inside radius, and trimmed the corners for the floor pan flange..
Now to fold some flanges on the sides for strength, using the Diacro press brake and a 1/2" thick lower die. By adding some rare earth magnets to the back side to serve as a back stop, we get a perfect 1/4" flange...
Then some back and forth between the Erco kick shrinker and the press brake with a narrow die inside the folds.... and we have 45* bends on either end of our brackets...
Test fit.... and trimming the retainer hole...
