Yeah you slip it onto the right hinge before you install the door.

When you have time could you post a picture with Tape 1's door open so I can see where the end of the spring slips into the hole? (If it's possible to see from the top view). I would like to take a stab at making this spring. Thanks

It's the detail that does it for me, the dedication, time, effort & diligence applied to every single aspect of this fantastic work is incredible - you deserve more praise than I could ever impart for all you have done with this project. Awesome, just awesome.

Thanks for the comments. Christine, I really appreciate that, it does take a lot of time to work through, I hope it inspires others here to try. It's like a big puzzle tryiing to finish every piece, you sort of get more motivated as you get more done.

The left side has the same notch under the hinge pin, so in theory you could make a mirrored version of this spring and have on one either side or both sides.

I looked around and couldn’t find a post, are there any documented steps to remove the door? Best practices? Do you have to take the whole unit apart to do this? Thanks for all you help.

You need to squeeze the "rales" (sides) of the deck door to release the door and open it far enough to release the hinges

Can you confirm, does the original spring look more like the one in this photo for the C-100F? I can't remember where I found this pic online but want to make sure I create an exact match.

Please start another thread about your concerns if you can. Thanks

You mean these panels? I'm replacing them too if I can find a good bender

Do you have a pdf for those grafics?
My box needs this trims and I want to have somebody cut them and print grafics.
Thank you for your amazing work!

Hi!
Is it possible to buy lower tape case trim from you ?
Thanks !
Best regards

After a ton of tweaking on the adjustments for the brake, I was able to do all the same bends for the pieces that I needed. The new bending fingers have a nice sharp edge.

My values for the lower deck button and door trim were fine, but the tray trim was a hair short, so this first batch doesn't quite make it over the top. I cut out a sample piece at the right size, and it fit like a glove.

Unfortunately, the metal gets scuffed by the brake, even with tape, so next time the bending must be done before lettering. The lettering also gets damaged by the brake. The dry transfers I applied are not sticking well enough to withstand wiping from a cleaning cloth, so I've been looking for more permanent solution. Silkscreening is a lot of messing around, but I see that laser marking is just as precise, and more permanent, so I think I'll give that a shot.
