Body Skin 1.9 Rear Hatch upgrade

bought some catch's and magnetic holders and some angle brackets from Wickes. These are intended for the rear hatch.


Had an idea on how to secure the rear hatch (lol, yeah buy stuff, THEN figure out how to use it!)


I used some blocks out of wood off-cut. Then after smoothing the edges, I drilled & screwed them to the inside edge of the uprights. I then screwed the metal plates onto them. Except I ran out of screws. The ones they came with were a waste of someones time!! Once new screws were bought, they were all screwed into place........... see below Plan B.


This fist idea didn't pan out to well. So went onto plan B. After cutting two small lengths of wood, these were fitted to the lower inside hatch frame. These support the skin. They also now have the catches fitted. The contact clip was screwed to the base.
