Matt, thanks for the great info. Why did you make it into two parts? Could you not cut it from one single piece of metal? Also, the reinforcement doubler you riveted at the top, how can the working ends of the rivets stick out the bottom and they not interfere with the sliding canopy? Seems like they would push it down and scratch the plexiglass. Bill

Hi Bill,
I only made it in two parts because the extra .032 I had laying around was only 48" wide which wasn't wide enough to go all the way around. I really wanted a single piece.
Regarding the shop heads, you'll note from the pictures that I really squashed them down to minimize the amount that stuck down. They just clear the metal bezel I have on the canopy. That being said, there is a slight upward deflection of the windscreen bezel so there is more clearance there than you'd think.
