Started fabricating the canopy strut supports - PTA from heavy aluminum stock to cut these. Drawing of assembly seen in pic 1. I also secured the bolt bumpers (not part of the plans - a mod many do) to prevent the canopy from being pushed too hard forward into the forward skin when the struts are secured. I put on the forward skin, adjusted the canopy frame to final position, then adjusted the bolts until they contacted the frame front rib (pic 2 with bolt going through bracket, then bulkhead and contacting frame out of view).
