I now have the center element in place. Putting this thing together is a bit of a pain, all the pieces have to be just right place and all at the same time. Getting the center heating panel completed was the hardest part so far, the heating elements are so fragile and the cardboard like material breaks so easy I am four toasters in on this project because of the panels…The center one specifically. The panel attaches to to metal pieces that in turn connect to the sides. The bottom is easy because it is the same process of drilling a hole and sticking it through and bending the tabs. The top piece I will have to come up with a better way to attach it because the tabs do not exist on the donor ends.
I am also in the clear for the retaining grates not touching any of the elements in the center. There is not much clearance but it is safely out of the way. When I settle on a way to attach the top metal piece I will be certain to center it so nothing touches.
