stress crax typology
Posted: Tue Aug 07, 2018 3:26 pm
I am preparing an S2 body for repaint and cannot help but notice the distribution of stress cracks. It seems there may be some typical places these show up that could not only be repaired but possibly cured if there is an underlying structural reason.
The cracks that I see that I think I can cure radiate from the inside corners of the headlight openings. I think I can reinforce this area perhaps by looping some foam backer rod underneath around the hole and glassing in to form a tube reinforcement.
Are there other such locations to reinforce on regardless of whether any cracks show?
