My aim for this week-end is to get the screen fitted, the panel installed and all of the electrical connections to the engine etc made. And if I can get the doors on too, that will be a bonus.
I wasted a bit of time because I had to return home from Ken’s to get the old screen so I could check on a couple of things before making some important cuts in the new one. Then I had to leave again to buy some superglue to repair a small split that appeared for some reason in the tube padding on the passenger side which if left would have held me up and stopped me fitting the screen and door. Even so, and despite the showers that kept coming through making me stop work and cover my tools and MYRO up so they didn’t get soaked, with a bit of help from Ken who helped me with the drilling for the plastic bolts and cable ties that secure the screen in place, by the end of the afternoon I’d got the new screen and the panel top fitted.
This time round, I’ve tried fitting the panel top first which gives easier access to all of the securing plastic bolts and I hope that it will then be a relatively simple job to feed all of the panel cabling and tubes back up through and then pop the top fixings into place to secure the panel. Time will tell if I’m right or not. And the adjustments that I made to the sizes and positions of the nose and side strut slots have also worked perfectly and now for the first time more or less since I’ve known MYRO there is a nice even gap all around the struts and the panel isn’t able to chafe on the tubes.
As I was clearing up it began to shower quite hard and instead of putting the doors inside MYRO, I placed both of them in position and attached both their bungees to hold them in place. MYRO then looked even more as it should and things are certainly coming together now, as you’d expect given the time I’ve been working on it again. Who knows what next week-end might bring if I achieve my target for this one … 😉
