Developping a new Bagheera Bonnet pannel II

[Spyros]

So, after creating a new mold, I apparently forgot to take pictures.

During a long period, my manufacturing projects where left dormant.
This because I was focusing on the redaction of the Last Matra Bagheera Manual ( a manual covering years 1978  to end, which was never published by Matra. About 400 pages, own published, already 60 % of printed copies sold)

End of July, the status was the following :


My planning was to be ready by mid august.
It would have been the case if the project would have been to reproduce a steel panel in fiberglass.
But ... I revised the scope of the project.
This because an important assumption was not correct :
The pannel needs to glue perfectly to the external polyester panel in order to maintain structural rigidity.µ
As I will show you, this is not true with the original steel panel and would cause an issue if the steel is replaced by polyester
