Brief Description: Sec 43-Overhead Console
|
|
Before beginning th eoverhead I needed to dismount the doors, I also took the hinges off and deburred/dressed them with the scotchbrite wheel, primed each before reattaching to the cabin cover. Parker came out and took out most of the clecos that were holding the cover on, and he, Judy and I removed it.. Got the console out and began to figure out where it needed to be trimmed. The 1st area to trim is the gas strut braces, but before trimming you have to figure out the fore/aft placement, with that done I trimmed out areas for the strut brace to clear, and then looked for where it was touching. Th edirections say that they took th emold from a cabin top that already had a fair amount of filling/body work done to it. This seemed to help me, and there really weren't too many places to trim to get it to sit flush. I trimmed off the forward flange so that there is nothing that wraps around the windshield frame ridge, the other places that required some trim were the aft cabin where there is a 'step' behing the rear door braces, Tried some clamps to see if it would sit flush. No Problem!. Drilled the holes for the Lights and the Air vents and test mounted the air vents. I've ordered some switches from Mouser which should be here Mon. So If I can get the vent attach rings floxed in place tomorrow. I should be able to epoxy/flox in the overhead on Monday , leaving the rest of the week to finish the interior and reattach to the fuse. Anothe rtask for Monday is to make the fiberglass window trim rings. while the cabin top is 'accessable'.
