So I am currently on a self-imposed spending freeze, which is making work on the bus even slower than it was before. I am only fitting parts that I already have 'in stock' or other tasks that just require time rather than new parts.
I have had these hinge covers on the shelf for a while, which to be honest, I am not totally keen on, however, they are better than the metal hinge of the boot hatch and cover the necessary headlining cuts.
The other side for comparison - Open.
The other side for comparison - Closed.
Half-closed.
Clear and closed.
The screws I am using are nice stainless ones, but I did not like the contrast between the headlining material, the plastic of the cover and the screws. So I found a number-plate cap-screw-cover and tried it on one of the screws, which I think looks better.
I only had one cap though, so I will have to get some more
I will probably also try to put some more material into the gaps to make it look more integrated. OR I guess another option could be to cover the hinge covers in the same material as the headlining......
I might have a go at that.
