Canopy frame work and instrument panel check: 3.3 hours


  • Test fitted instrument panel - I received the panel from the CNC cutter and I'm not very happy with it. There seem to be some discrepancies in the way the file was translated. It looks good from a distance but will require some work to make right.
  • Adjusted forward roll bar pilot holes for exact fit 
  • Drilled above to 3/16 then #13
  • Drilled canopy deck
  • Trimmed canopy brace to length (part between roll bar and center rib)
  • Trimmed canopy brace flange
  • Trimmed roll bar bolt flange to follow canopy deck - this took quite a bit of time
Looks good but needs some work:
