Spring steel fabrication
Discussion
Got a sunroof kit I was searching for, however it's missing a part.
It is identified as a spring (F in the schematic below), and from what I can tell it's a flat spring that screws onto both the sunroof shade and the sunroof itself, to move one with the other. It is slightly pre-bent to fit over the sunshade edge (presumably).
and here it is in the flesh - the actual hole pattern is slightly different on production units
The main issue is that I don't have another part to copy, don't have schematics or detailed images with dimensions. Images above and the hole pattern on the two panels this flat spring connects are all I have in terms of reference.
Provided there is some flexibility with overall dimensions (eg length) - I think correct hole size with T4 screws will be more important - is this a job a fabricator would attempt?
If so, anyone got recommendations? Preferably around Thames Valley/Surrey, but can look further afield and courier
Added a (very rough) paper mockup
