Quick and easy hasp and staple (KISS again)
Posted: Fri Mar 17, 2017 3:47 pm
Decided that some very simple vans I had needed detailing. Brakes and other bits and bobs will be done soon but I felt it needed something to keep the door closed.
You can probably get a casting for a hasp and staple but once again I wanted the job done now and on the cheap.
Two bits of micro strip cut to size and drilled and a small piece of micro rod.
The micro rod was held near a heat source to form a head. A lighter will do.
Stick the lot together with MEK and add a rivet head to act as a pivot. (Cambrian if you have one to hand or make one using the aforementioned method from plastic rod)
Paint and attach.
Total cost? B@@@er All, give or take.
Total time? Less time than it takes to read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest this post.
Ta da!!!!
