Some hours on the car to finish off the rear arches. First offered them to the car to validate that the lines drawn last week were level. Using the mobile phone app, it seemed perfect.
Using the circular adapter on the drill, prepared to cut the holes. First one was quickly done! This blade, that cuts aluminium, went through fiberglass like through butter. Adjusted the blade to make the next hole a bit larger. In the end, all four holes required different amounts of "enlarging by sanding" with the dremmel and a sanding cylinder.
When all light pods could fit, placed some masked tape on the arches again and marked the holes for the bolts that hold the light pods to the arches. Had to improvise some bolts and nuts (leftovers from the tunnel panels) and only bolted two (instead of three) because the third one had what it seemed like an earth connection above the hole that was preventing me from putting the bolt. Anyway, two seem enough.
Both arches were done, although I only picture one. Just need to make the holes through which bolts will go through to fix the arches to the car. Next session will be on the car, fitting the arches and the buttons for the tonneau cover.
