Brief Description:  Windscreen fitting continued

Continued fitting the windscreen. Decided I would need two additional keeper tabs at the sides along with the two I made yesterday because of the pressure that would be put on just one tab on each side. The shape of the bottom as it curves around to the back is quite a bit out of shape and needs to be pulled in about 1/4". Since the two keeper tabs on each side end up being visible in the cockpit I had to get a little creative about how to put them in versus blind riveting them as I did the front two. The forward one of the two I decided to use a #6 screw and nut countersunk from the inside since I couldn't reach it with a squeezer and I didn't want to use the rivet gun.. The rearmost one I could use a AN426-4 rivet and use the squeezer. Was able to mount all keeper tabs successfully. I then determined how the fiberglass would come onto the windscreen and measured where to lay down the layer of electrical tape to demarcate the limit. I think it will look pretty nice.
