Madness is not just a band from Camden.. It can also be something like this.. This time I will be recreating 3014E-13K413-B Guard (rear lamp socket). Some time ago I was lucky enough to found a tattered original to use as a pattern. First I needed to make a jig to create the folds; Does not need to look fancy, just some scraps thrown together. Routed 6mm x 1,5mm slots give material somewhere to go. 2mm book binding board (fairly stiff cardboard) and self adhesive decorating film. Could not find ready surfaced board locally but this will work just fine. Pressing the folding grooves. Moderate pressure is enough. Cut to size and outer rivet holes pre drilled. Edges I touched up with a black marker. And the finished piece folded and mocked in place with one clip (should be two); Looks the part and should last as long as the original, I imagine that would be two weeks tops
