Canopy frame part 2

 Worked on prepping the canopy frame for install on the fuse.

First is to drill out the canopy support strut mounting lugs to two different sizes.

Next was countersinking the fwd arms to accept a flush screw.

The screw head must be flush to 1/32" protruding to prevent it from catching on the fwd top fuse skin.

Next was match drilling these 5 holes on each side of the fwd frame.

And then installing these rivets.

Then match drilling the canopy latch stop mount holes.

And then riveting the stop to the frame.
