Re: Custom build of a Kenworth C509 as autralian roadtrain
After the sleeper was finished in its format, I wanted to be able to open and close the sleeper doors. They will hide the On/Off switch, the charcher contacts, connection points for the sound module and custom build computer boards.
My first idea was to create lock bars moved by bowden cables.
The doors were fastened with brass hinges.
The next step was the control block
But the hinges set on the outside wasn't very nice, I wanted to hide them. So I tested other hinges that were fixed from behind.
Horror !!!
Because of the fact the the PS plates are 2mm thick, the doors can't be opened with a standard hinge without a hige gap between sleeper and dor. So I started to design custom hinges that can open and the door can slide out a bit.
From the outside
From the inside
