Trimmed the Canopy Forward Tip






Trimmed the forward tip of the canopy near the pivot bolt for clearance. Used the sandpaper flapper in the die grinder and the flat sandpaper blocks. I had to remove and reinstall the canopy about three times to get the clearances correct. Also rounded out the pivot bolt hole with a small sanding drum in the Dremel. Mixed a batch of pure epoxy and coated the foam at the pivot bolt hole. Mixed some epoxy/flox and filled the void under the glass at the tip where the foam broke on me forward of the pivot bolt hole on the one side.

Time Today - 3 hours
