Nov 19, 2023     Frame preparation; Canopy handle relief hole - (1.2 hours)       Category: Canopy
1. Scuffed the four locations on the frame that will be Sikaflexed.
2. I decided to drill out the relief pocket in the canopy that I made yesterday for the canopy handle attach screw, and instead just make it a 7/16" hole all the way through the canopy. That way, I won't have to wait for the handle to be powdercoated before I attach the canopy and skirt to the frame. This hole will also completely eliminate the possibility that the screw head will ever touch the canopy, and it will also allow the handle to be removed or replaced if needed. I used some Plexiglas bits, followed by a step drill, to drill and enlarge the hole. Then I ran a hot soldering iron around the inside of the hole to smooth it out.
