The next stage for the canopy frame construction needs spacers for the side supports and the rear hoop. I used thick MDF board and cut multiple blocks against a jig. I used Dan's recommended 27/32" blocks rather than 7/8". These were then duct taped to the hoop halves. |
|
The side supports I used pieces of 1/8" hard board. |
|
Next it was sorting the rear hoop. The initial layout seemed pretty good, but I realised the skin to roll bar brackets hadn't been completed. |
|
The gap seems fine although the some fluting and straightening is still needed. So it was off with the roll bar and de-rigging the brackets. |
|
The counter sinking of both the #10 and #8 skin dimples ended up nearly the same size.
Then it was just re-assembly work, the afternoon was cut short with other events. |
