CAF Material Gap Gauges

One of the most overlooked steps in the fabrication process of custom panels is accounting for the gaps between the panels to allow clearance for upholstery materials. If you don't plan for the correct gap size between panels your panels will either have a loose and sloppy fit, or be far too tight which can lead to panels that cannot be disassembled for serviceability or lead to the upholstery materials bunching up and looking bad. 

 

To solve this issue Mark from CarAudioFabrication designed the CAF material gap gauges. These gauges allow you to quickly and easily determine the EXACT size of gap that is needed for a combination of upholstery materials during the fabrication process of your custom panels.
