February 14, 2009 -  Canopy Seal

I riveted the seal mounting strip to the forward top bulkhead, then applied the seal which had its own adhesive. 

Bruce and Ray helped me put the canopy back on.  I clecoed down the top skin, then tested the canopy.  It went up and down with no binding.  The left and right forward canopy skins edges are higher than the forward skin -- I need to lower the forward edge of the canopy.

Ray installed the washers and nuts on the canopy handle block for me.   

I had bought an 18mm socket for the top plugs -  auto plugs used by the electronic ignition -- but it was too small.  I measured the plug and it is 13/16”.   Looks like a return trip to AutoZone!
