This afternoon I started on the wing root cuffs. I had the factory cuffs but they were made for the standard windshield not the extreme windshield. So, this required making new cuffs. I started with a piece of card stock to get me close and then transferred it to .020 aluminum. I laid down several strips of gorilla tape for protection of the Acrylic. Quite a bit of fitting/trimming/sanding was required for a good fit. I then drilled the screw holes along the top edge and then bent the cuff around the bottom of the wing and clamped it in place while I drilled/cleco'd it in place. On to the other side tomorrow.
On a whim while out running an errand, I decided to stop by my local welder to see if he had a 48" shear and brake. Turns out he did, fantastic! I needed it to cut/bend a piece of .032 aluminum for the cap strip for the windshield/skylight. This was the last piece needed to complete the head rack. So, I had him cut/bend the piece for me. I will drill the screw holes tomorrow to finish the piece.
