One issue not explained is=2C "How are people cutting the windscreen?"
I used a cut off wheel. It melts the plastic infront of the cutting.
Next i used 50-60 grit sanding disk on my Bose electric grinder. This is th
e kind of grinder that cuts tile=2C it runs at high RPM. Again=2C it heats
at the same time it taketh away. Watch out for a run away cut off wheel or
sanding disk. DO NOT GET DISTRACTED!
As for getting the windscreen to fit exactly to the canopy frame and fuse
=2C it will never happen. Indeed it takes like two to three hundred on/off
sessions of taking little by little off each time.
One very important point that the manual does not show=2C ROUND THE CORNERS
OFF THE EDGES TO GET RID OF THE POINT LOADS ON THE PLEXI. THE MANUAL SHOWS
A SHARP 90 DEGREE ANGLE ON ALL EDGES...I DO NOT AGREE WITH THIS IMAGE.
