.........provide yourself with a 1mm cutting disc and a marker,that's all you need-and maybe some skills,but it isn't as dramatically as it looks !

 

   1: here we start            you can see the cuttings i've marked before ? Its' very important to cut as straight as possible,because it makes all further work easier,it's like a railroad: how and where you start definates where you end.

 

2: the other Side :    Acra in 1 mod 2.jpg (66769 Byte)  

 

 

3:    That's what you get then Acra in 1 mod 3-2.jpg (66714 Byte), you've to close the hole by using a special section out of the removed left header

 

4: here it is,this is the removed left header,and the Section you need i've marked white.Acra in 1 mod 4-1.jpg (74151 Byte)
 Its very Important to cut out the Section with a + of 1 cm everywhere,in Germany they say: twice time cutted and still too short.

 

 5:I've marked it pink on this picture,where exactly the cutting line is,now we're at the Spot where you need some skills.  Acra in 1 mod 5.jpg (94219 Byte)

6: so,compare this Pic with the one above,to cut out the lid you needAcra in 1 mod 6.jpg (72818 Byte) you've to be careful,if you do this the first Time keep more Material the first cut,than you need ,try to put on the cover,take a close look which edge maybe to remove now,then: take a 2nd look,and then cut again.

 

7:As mentioned above,this is the raw result you get,you see a few mm's missing horizontally  Acra in1 mod 7.jpg (82537 Byte),but as mentioned at 1. ,if you've cutted very straight at the beginning it's not a big deal yet,you only have to cut straight to make it fit.

8: the view from top,always consider it's a 3-D cutting Job,Acra in 1 mod 8.jpg (86805 Byte) so if you pull a line with your marker to cut there,always have a look if the whole thing fits on the other sides still too. Acra in1 mod 13.jpg (56650 Byte)

 

9: very detailled here: Acra in 1 mod 9.jpg (93881 Byte) you probably wont be a able to get a 0.5 mm gap everywhere,sometimes that happens by fortune,but you can live with gaps of 1-2 mm,that's no Problem for a good welder.

 

10:Very large if you enlarge,that's the final result,you see i've got up to 1mm gap too.It would have been possible to reach nearly 0,but it's superflouos,it's as good weldable too.
