Drilled canopy frame
I had previously marked on the canopy frame aft ribs the locations for the screws in order to crimp between them. I used those marks to drill #40 holes. I also marked out a 2″ spacing for holes along the sides of the frame. While the canopy bubble was off, I sanded the sides and aft edge with a long board and sandpaper. That cleaned up the edges nicely. I also took some finer sandpaper and cleaned up all of the edges really well. I removed all of the tape from around the edges of the bubble, so I could see to drill through to the frame. With Julie’s help this time, I placed the bubble back on the frame and got it all positioned for drilling.
