This piece is for those who do not have a resin surround and want to build their own housing. If you find the right can that can be adapted for a housing also and may be sturdier.
The housing is also designed to fit onto a curved skin with a dual layer thickness of 0.040" The power coupling face has been both flat and curved. We have included a curved housing to that when it is placed on the inside of the skin it will be flush instead of having gaps. If a flat face is being used the part can be filed flat.
If you take your time this process can produce excellent results but some fiddling maybe needed

If this is ht ecase you may need to file the ends of the curved piece to make the fit better. This may not be easy as a bit of force will be needed to get the side piece flush with the back piece. Start with the tab furthest away from the final connetion point. Glue that part and wait for it to dry before moving on. I know the tendancy is to try and do it in one shot but this can produce unsatisfactory results |
