Boot box cover
My carbon effect ABS sheet arrived today and I've tried to make a boot box cover with it. The inside of my car is trimmed with it, as is the
surround to the boot box. I can't make it work though.
I fastened it to a nice new piano hinge with black rivets which caused it to buckle. Damn. removed the rivets and the plastic is ok but the hinge is
totaled.
What can I use to support the plastic to keep it flat on the car?
what can I use for a hinge that doesn't look like it's off a gate?

Try riviting a piece of 10mm x 10mm x 2mm angle ally under the plastic with the piano hinge. Available from B&Q.
Experience is what you get when you don't get what you want!!!

An excelent idea. B&Q was open, I bought the aly and a new hinge. PUed and riveted and straight as you like.
