Replacement Canopy Fitting

Replacement Canopy Fitting

Due to a failure of a fitting in a canopy, I am attempting to make a replacement out of nylon. The original is an injection moulding made of an indeterminate plastic. It has cracked due to impact and isn't easily glued.

The large block of nylon was chopped into a block of roughly the correct size:


I used the bandsaw to shape the block roughly to the shape required.






The block is at the limit of what can be machined on the mill
