Interesting to see another silver Bluemels being drilled. I set out to make some flaps for my fixed on the work lasercutter. This was very successful when I did the same for Velo Orange guards, using the stay bolts to secure the flaps.
Not so much this time - I think I botched the hole placement on the front flaps (it coincides with the stays, which are riveted) but I can’t work out how to bolt them on at all! What would you all use, M4 bolt and nut? Or rivets?
Think the laser was also way high this time on the engrave setting as it warped the polyprop, and nearly blew right through it! I think round 2, lower laser and perhaps just one bolt hole would fix it.
