I want the acryl glass visor to be openable and that what I did.
I added two hinges as you can see below and cut out a bit of the wood for it to be openable comfortably.
The weird black stuff you can see in this picture is black PE piping for kables and such. 25 metres are about ten euros. (plus shipping ...) You an get it on ebay and hardware stores.
To connect the wood to the hinge I used spax screws, but let me explain:
You have to be carefull, not just put the screw through the hole and drill it into the wood, you have to drill a hole carefully into the wood first otherwise cheap wood pieces like I use in this picture ruptures.
To drill into the acryl you have to be even more careful. Drill very, very slowly into the glass.
As for the connection between the glas and the hinge I used screws with threads and a cover nut to make it look nice.
The black stuff I bought for the wiring of the electronic part of this whole project but my idea stuck and now I will use it as a connector for the visor as well. It kind of really looks natural and fancy.
