| Its 112 today!! so progress was in short bursts throughout the day. As Tim O and others have mentioned you have to take a LOT |
|
| more material off than expected. Primarily around the door frames where they sit into the mid cabin. I ended up sanding any 'lip' |
|
| completely off and then had to sand down into the primary fiberglass structure in order to get enough clearance for it to fit. It took |
|
| a total of about 5 on & off sessions with sanding in between to get it to where it fits 'pretty good' the front intersection where it |
|
| meets the upper fwd fuse still needs some attention, the aft portion of the cover actually seems to work pretty well. I sanded |
|
| down to and 'slightly below the 3/4" scribe lines and that seems to provide the proper clearance. I don't know if this will help |
|
| anybody, because from the looks of my cabin cover, I would expect there to be wide differences from one cover to the next |
|
| based upon the way these are layed-up. It's too bad because the fit of dissimilar parts on the metal portion of Van's kits' is a |
|
| thing of beauty, the cover, unfortunately is an ugly duck! |
