In earlier pictures you will have noticed that I had a solid diaphragm behind the seat, this was there to act both as a stiffer and as a firewall because I intended to have the fuel tank behind me. This presented a bit of a problem as the only access would be through the boot/spare wheel slot and a 2 gallon fuel tank was about all that would fit. I decided that I needed access behind the seat but also wanted to retain some strength and a fire wall, I decided to cut out the centre of the diaphragm and form a swage around the edge in order that I could fit a removable panel. The following series of pictures show how I went about creating this swage, I made a former in MDF with a clamping piece cut from a scrap of ply above, the edge can then be simply dressed down into the former. I have not found it nesecarry to anneal small swages like this as you are not moving much metal, care is needed though not to bruise the panel when when working it.
