Still On The Same Panel

You guys have to excuse me. I got myself a cheapy English wheel. So I can teach myself a new skill. Here are some pictures of the progress and the wheel. I can tell you here is a lot of learning to do. To make the right movements in one supple go. Keeping the panel level. And the more it's start to shine. The more you see the the imperfection, you just rolled in. But it's fun.

The problem is more how do I attach them together. And then how do I attach it to the kart. I don't do tig welding alu. Pop rivets I don't like. Real rivets a option if available I beleave they are. Henny

Looks good to me. I'd say why not pop rivets?

Brian I am probably not gonna paint it so then they wil stick out like sore thump even when filled. I am gonna test a spot welding trick I saw on the net. If you sandwich your peace between steel you can spot weld alu. At least that's what the video showed.Henny

HennyI was thinking about How to join the top and side pieces without rivets and remembered seeing a grooved flat lock seam. Can't post a picture here but you can look up on web. Don't know if it will work for this applicationJust a thought.

i decided on making the top panel hinged and not connected to the sides, a bit like a normal car hood. i will fold the bottom edge over once. i looked up the flatlock seam. its cerntainly doable but not on this panel. Not for me anyway i am an amateur. Henny
