Brief Description: rivet canopy
|
|
Monday
Front canopy fixed to lateral frames with clecos.
The middle and lower canopy strip 6-C-3-53 and -3-64 was cleaned from primer on outside. After been polished with Autosol mounted to canopy with clecos. After a careful alignment ready for rivets.
But the supplied rivets was too short, they have a max grip of 4,7 mm. After some searching I found a supplier that store Avex 1661-0414. Will handle up to 7,9 mm. Perfect, a 120 km trip with my car instead of a new Italian import.
Tuesday
Start with heating up the canopy, used an electrical cabin-heater, normally used in my car. Heat on for one hour, rivet, continue with heat for one extra hour. Works great, a tight fit and no cracks, so far.
