Today I painted the interior of the canopy frame and the reinforcment braces. I then rivited the braces to the top skin and frame. Canopy F725 side rails are not painted at this time.
Also, I fabricated and installed a couple of canopy "Snubbers" that have been recommended by some builders. These snubbers are adjustable and restrict the the canopy frame from moving too far forward; which can interfere with the proper gap between the canopy top skin and the fuselage forward top skin as the canopy is raised. The snubbers also allow a little adjustment on the proper "gap" between these two skins.
