Again, since there is very little room in this truck to install parts that don't belong, I had to find a place to install the LCD display for the computer. Building it into the dash would have been nice but that space is occupied by the stereo and the two-way so I decided that the driver's side viser would be best. The plan here is to build a new viser out of fiberglass. | The first step was to cut apart the existing viser to see what could be reused. Obviously, I'll need the mount and the swivel. I will cut the material in half to put back on either side.
I used this particle board center piece as my template for the form I had to make.
It was layed out on the MDF:
And two of them were cut out with a jigsaw.
Once I had the two shapes cut, they were bolted together and the edges sanded round.
