Actuators and lid design
After our trip to Blackridge, i wanted to get the lift and lid dialed in. I always planned for actuators and a lid. I wanted an internal actuator setup. A pretty stealth look and eventually i would get there.
Some quick sketches and dims on the whiteboard table.
Adding the actuators to the sub frame. The lid will later be welded on.
Picking up the lid in 2 sections from the local sheet metal shop.
Test fitting the lid, as you can see the bends were a little off and I had to modify the cut out to get it to fit around the shop.
After talking with the fab shop, we decided that they would bend me a new one and go about it a little differently next time.
Even though the lid didn't fit right i knew i would like the outcome. We were planning a trip to Yellowstone for a half marathon in 2 weeks, so it was crunch time.
