 |
|
I searched the archives...but could not locate the info. I am ready to drill the screw holes in the C-603 canopy side skin. Some say that one should countersink the C-603 and screw through the canopy. Others seem to indicate that dimpling the C-603 is preferable with countersinking to be done on the canopy. The instructions and drawings are very lacking. Any experience on cracking issues would be appreciated. Randy C-FYOO

The best way to minimize cracking is to spread the load over as wide an area as possible. Countersinking the plexi and dimpling the metal is the way to proceed. After the plexi is drilled using the special plexi drill bits and countersunk, use the next larger size bit to open the plexi holes up to minimize the contact of the bolts with the plexi. The canopy will be held by the angle of the plexi countersink and the dimpled skin rather than touching the bolt.
