I will need to add the float mounting bracket and was looking for any help on how to weld this with minimal fabric damage. Any help would be appreciated. > Bryan, if the finish is Poly tone it is fairly easy to cut out a section of fabric and replace with new. If you have worked with fabric before it will be easy, if you haven't, someone helping that has will be a must and use the repair instructions in the poly fiber manual. I would use a straight edge and razor blade to cut out a section spanning from the leading edge of the stock front gear mount to about 8 inches forward of the new mount to be welded in. From the bottom of the door frame to about 8 inches in on the belly. To repair the fabric, poly tack one new piece to the bottom door frame and to the old fabric down and under the belly. No poly tack or wraping around the bottom longeron tube. When you shrink the new piece it will pull the old fabric tight and back into place. -------- Tom Jones Classic IV 503 Rotax, 72 inch Two blade Warp Ellensburg, WA Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=265110#265110 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kitfox-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Kitfox-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/kitfox-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kitfox-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
