| Description for Image 1: This shows how I made my AP disengage bar for the MCP. The method is simple and cheap: using a hot glue gun and a mold where I poured the hot glue into. My mold is a part of a standard audio tape box as seen in this picture. To allow an easy removal of the cooled down glue, I used paper around the "walls" so I could get the molded part out easily. | |
| Description for Image 2: The size of the audio tape box is a little larger than what I need for the disengage bar, but the molded piece gets cut to size later. | |
| Description for Image 3: Here the glue is cooled down. | |
| Description for Image 4: carefully pulling the piece out of its mold. The audio tape box is still usable :-) | |
| Description for Image 5: Removing the paper involves lukewarm water and rubbing off the paper with fingers. The kind of paper I used proved to be a very good choice: thin catalogue paper (from my favourite electronics supplier :-) | |
| Description for Image 6: What remains of the paper is only a very thin face layer (of which the print of the side facing the glue is part of). | |
| Description for Image 7: Cutting to shape. I tried using sharp knives/scalpels first, but the cuts are not smooth. Then I used my soldering iron to warm up the blade of the knife and this worked very nicely. It just creates bad smells! | |
| Description for Image 8: The knives used and the MCP panel where the bar is gonna be installed. | |
| Description for Image 9: The size fits well. | |
| Description for Image 10: Here's the side with the cut. | |
| Description for Image 11: from the top | |
| Description for Image 12: The Disengage bar painted (sort of) white. | |
