Utilizing Iron "STAKES/JIGS" Arms | Bondo Mold Enhancement | Essential future tool: Iron/Metal PIPE CLAMPS
Besides Bondo/Putty Molds, you can also use Iron Stakes (Pancang).
For example: A stake consisting of 2 legs for every section requiring alignment. Note: Each leg must have at least 2 sub-feet! Each pair of body panels should be maintained with at least 2 sets of Stakes.
Each set (containing 4 sub-feet) is secured semi-permanently with nuts and bolts, housed in a simple "fixed-weld" enclosure that can also be used temporarily.
SCHEME:
Useful for body parts replacement clamps. Can be adjusted to 3D-printed clamp shapes for Temporary Holders and Position Templates.
- Not just for exhaust pipe fabrication.
- Creates near-perfect alignment.
Example of a standard clamp that can be enhanced for body panel replacement:
For cost efficiency over 3D printing, an alternative is the Bondo Mold:
- The mold is split in two after inserting the clamp "head."
- Process is similar to a popsicle mold where the stick is submerged in liquid.
- Once the Bondo set is cured and cut, it's ready to GRIP the new body panel securely.
