I think this is the hardest part of the interior. The crescent needed so much rehab, and the shelf needed to be recreated. I rehabed the crescent back to where it could be used.
The reinstalled vinyl that trims out the rear shelf
Worked out well...now the attention goes to the shelf itself.
I need two hinged areas, the first is from the shelf to the seat back, and the second is from the seatback to the attach points at the seat back base
So I decided to create a flexible hinge and use remnants from old bike inner tubes
I will score the cardboard with a razor to facilitate the hinge, then add a rubber backing to allow the hinge to move
Ok, that worked well...now I just need to get the shelf to flex to prepare the shelf for recovering...so far so good
Closer to installing the softie....
