I'm Glad That's Done

So in the end I decided to tackle one of my least favourite jobs: the corridor connections.


Might as well get it out of the way, I reckoned.

I'm not too keen on it mainly because it's both fiddly and slightly boring at the same time.

The fiddly bit is joining the three bits of strip together the make the U section.

The boredom comes because you have to do that six times, and then after that there's a lot of filing and sanding work to round off the corners so they look at least something like bits of rubber folded over.

I'm always glad I've done it though because I think it's really essential to getting the look of  FR corridor stock right. 

It's just that I never look forward to having to do it.

  1. How about making a heat resistant former and make the corridor connections by warming the strip and folding it round the former? Method 2 make a master and cast them?
