| Project Corona Front Cowling Repair Posted: 05 Apr 2012 10:00 PM PDT |
Hello everyone, we have a new update for Project Corona. Having already completed a frame swap including suspension, and installed new tires, the next aspect of the restoration is repairing the damaged cowling and fairing pieces.
In this episode, we will be mending the front cowl fairing. This process will involve several steps and to being We will be using a two-part plastic epoxy to seal the cracks in the fairing. We will also be removing the scratched and damaged stickers and decals now to allow more freedom in the future for sanding, painting, or other modifications we may decide to undertake.
The epoxy we used has a working time of around 5 minutes, sets in 15, and fully cures in 24 hours. After thoroughly mixing equal parts of the epoxy we applied it to the cracks in the fairing. We pried apart the the edges to ensure the epoxy reached the inside third dimension of the crack as well as spreading it on the exterior and interior surfaces of the cowling. We then smoothed the epoxy and wiped up as much extra as possible before allowing the epoxy to fully cure. After it cures we plan on lightly sanding the mended areas to have the smoothest surfaces possible.
