Brief Description: Right Canopy Skirt
|
|
Started out by laying out the pieces of the right canopy skirt. Then, decided to tap the holes for 6-32nd screws in the roll bar, for the windshield. Went fine until the next to last one, then I got a little too aggressive and the tap broke off in the hole. Tried for a while to get the piece out, but was unable. May try some more with a screw removal tool, but may just drill another screw hole next to the broken tap hole. It will be covered up by the fiberglass lip anyway, so that's probably the easiest way to fix this. Then I proceeded to fabricate the right canopy skirt, and as predicted, it went faster and easier than the left side. Next will be drilling the bottom of the canopy supports to the skirt, but I'll need a helper for that to siit inside and push with a narrow block of wood so I may drill into it from the outside. I'm getting a little interference and rubbing from the bottom of the canopy skirt on the canopy rail, but if I remove too much material on the bottom of the skirt, there will be a gap there. I'll have to think about that for a few days.
