Brief Description:  Canopy work - mid stop, latch, center rail

-Drilled the mid canopy stop hole for the latch pin to drop into.
-Reworked the main canopy latch hook. It was putting too much force latching the canopy shut so I releaved it slightly. Now it's much better and less scary!
-Located the center rail canopy pin receptacle block. The pin engages this block when you latch it shut the last1/2" of travel. Located the mounting holes and pilot drilled it and then removed it and drilled and counterbored it per the plans on a drill press. (pic 2)
-Bolted it in place (pic 3)
