Brief Description:  Center Canopy Rail #3

Finsihed up the center canopy rail this morning.
-Riveted the remaining 3/32 rivets in the center rail
-Carefully located the center of the turtle deck F825 where the rail will be mounted.
-Marked the centerline of the F825 and the center rail.
-Scratched my head to figure out how far into the canopy recepticle the rail should go. Finally noted a very small detail in the drawing that showed where it goes relative to the teflon block.
-Taped the rail in place, measured and re-measured.
-Drilled the #6 screw holes in the F825 using the rail as the guide with #27 bit.
-Removed the rail and deburred the holes in F825 and removed the plastic.
-Mounted the rail to F825 using the fwd 3 screws. I still need to locate the most forward screw hole that goes through the canopy recepticle, but I'll do that later once the teflon is permenantly mounted so I don't have some kind of interfereance.
