I would suggest that the rod is only threaded on the ends and only enough thread to get the rod end on. 4130 steel rod is cheep, strong and easy to get at Aircraft spruce and others. |

Damien,
Keep in mind you are messing around with a structural part of your aircraft. The skin is what gives your ship it's strength. By drilling out the rivets along the top forward longer's you have ... |

I'm about to bond the forward rubber seal to the canopy plastic. Not much will stick to Plexiglass or rubber. What does the rest of the Zenith crowd use?

Inrat,
Thanks for the info but can you be more specific? You lost me at 1.2 to 1.75 bigger. Are we talking about diameter, length, rivet or hole?

Thanks for the part numbers. I assume that is for the bolt only and the nut will have a different equally complex part number. |
