Brief Description: Drilled New Rear Pin Mount Moving Inboard
I cleaned up the new C-677 Rear Pin Mount and drilled matching holes from the original mount, except that the longeron holes were moved 1/8" outboard. These new holes move the mount inboard, pulling the canopy side skirts closer to the fuselage. I used the original plastic block, rather than trying to drill new anchor holes for the canopy pin. After all holes in the mount were drilled, the side holes were countersunk for the screws. The mount and block were screwed in place and the canopy was closed. The side skirt fits fairly tightly against the fuselage now.
