Manual Reference:  dwg 44
Brief Description:  Drill Canoopy frame rollers and install canopy sto

Drilled the left and right canopy rollers and frame to 3/16 and installed required hardware called out in dwg 44.

Drilled a hole in top right rail to accomodate the plunger pin of my canopy stop. Its spring loaded so it will catch the hole and stop canopy from sliding all the way back when solo.

Basicly started with #40 drill and drilled one side of a tube and then the other and run the drill all the way thru second hole to make sure they align. Insert the roller and assembly and lined up and clamped to rail to keep from moving and drilled thru one side using the pre drilled hole in tube as guide. Clecoed to keep assembly from rotating and drilled the other side. Removed the cleco and ran drill thru both. I did this thru several up drills to final size. Removed assembly and deburred it and the down tube. Re installed and installed hardware. cleaned up mess and cleaned insde rail track. Did the same on oppsite side. Happy happy happy!
