My email to Van's support was returned and was underwhelming. There are new support people there and it's tough to get a straight answer. The only answer I got to the question of whether the callout for a #19 hole when it's to be tapped to 8-32 was "best to use the instructions for the parts you have" when I'd asked if that callout was correct and had been corrected in a subsequent revision before the plans and part numbers changed? Anyway, a new bushing for the canopy latch arrived (couldn't find the original one) which meant a $3 part with $5 shipping) and I had to file it out to get it to fit over the canopy handle. I beveled the inside of the lower edge so it would fit lower on the handle as instructed. And I painted the handle (I knew the old engine mount would be good for something). I also made the lifting latches out of 3/4x3/4/x.063 (after a search located the angle), and then put the parts aside for the spring as I'm about to leave for Boston. So the canopy is sitting on the frame, unclecoed and we'll get back to it when I return from the East.
