That's only a cardboard template. The metal will be made to fitYes doing a good job but need rare earth neomagnets to pull those pieces together flush. A bit of a gap at the end
Okay nice LOL well thats a good idea to start with thick paper and play with it. Saves time then trimming metal to fit.That's only a cardboard template. The metal will be made to fit

LOL... thing I have learned about rust, what you see on the outside is only the tip of the iceberg. Look at my thread and go back a few pages from the end and you will see what I mean. I had some "rust bubbles" and thought nothing of it...This project/thread is really interesting to me to see how this spot gets repaired. I have a small rust through hole at this location too (on both sides), and I sprayed them full of anti-rust glop for the moment, but some day I'm gunna have to deal with them.
Enjoying the step by step instructions and great pictures. Thanks
