Continued working on roll bar today. Time to drill the roll bar brace. I used a 0.032" sheet to similate the top skin. The brace needs to clear top skin when installed
The other side. Edge margin is plenty
Roll bar brace is drilled
The aft end of roll bar brace is trimmed to fit the roll bar
I got out all the hardware for canopy frame roller assembly
Rollers are assembled
Roller is inserted to the canopy frame. The tube on one side is out of round, I had to use a clamp to make the tube round enough to insert the roller
Side tracks are cut to length
Rear track stop is drilled
Another view of the drilled real track stop
C-763 slide spacer matches the template reasonable well, good enough to me
I can't help to put the canopy frame on fuselage just to see how it looks. Looks more like an airplane now
