I know, I know, its been nearly a month since my last stint in the workshop. I got home late from work tonight so didn't get as much time as I had planned. The ST-ST quick-release pins from Jergens Inc. arrive at the weekend so tonight was what we hope the 'final' trimming of the canopy. I wanted to drill for the pins as well but that will need to wait until tomorrow as I really need to get Chester out for a walk.
Nonetheless, we are a fraction closer. To complete the canopy fitting we need to drill for the pins, clamp the canopy to the frame and make the 'big' cut, get the frame blasted and re-powder coated and then 'SIKA' the bubble. It'll be tricky to match the colour when getting it powder coated; no-one does Cardinal paint in NZ, there's no distributor. I may end up having a paint shop mix up a spray for me to paint it myself, but I'd rather it was powder coated per all the other weldments.
