It’s all in the details…..

I needed to make up one of these stamped parts. It held a voltage reducer for two of the gauges on the dash. I made up a stamping die from bits of steel I had. With a bunch of trial and error I was able to make a stamping I was happy with it. It was a lot of work for just needing one part, especially since it won’t be seen. But…I do enjoy challenging myself to make parts.
