Finaly the major construction work on the side panels is done. I gave up the idéa of hair pin fasteners as they would reach to far outside the round shape of the nuts. Ended up – as usually – with a home made wire fastener. To solve construction idéas with wire, is so common within the Swedish farming comunity that it has got it’s own name: farmer’s weld:)
There is still some metalwork to be done on the panels. One or two edges will be bent, maybe some surface work. The finish can end up in two different estetics: perfect new look, or worn surfaces. To make something look new is the easy one, but I’m aiming on the more difficult path of making a new part blend in with the old bike.
