I just peeled back the edges and inch or two, then used a knife sid eways to cut peeled back portion. I then used electrical tape to the edge of the window. I filled any gaps between the plastic and the electrical ta pe with blue tape. I drilled holes in the canopy, NOT the windows themselves. I didn't want t o risk cracking the window. There are many sizes of fender washers, do a c ouple of test fits to make sure you have some that are big enough. I had a couple of places that required a larger washer to reach the window. When you are done, many of the washers will have WELD-ON on them. In my origina l post, I didn't mention that when peeling and replacing clecos and washers , we sometimes flipped them over so that the weld-on that was on the washer didn't get onto the window. When finished, many of the washers will have left over weld-on on them. These are cheap and can be thrown away if they are beyond salvage. I sanded the edges and portion to be glued with 400 grit wet/dry sandpaper. I then cleaned the edges and sanded portion with a blue Scott shop rag th at was DAMP with Isopropyl alcohol. It was not wet by any means. I don't think there was enough to soak into the Acrylic itself. I just wanted some thing to cut the greasy kids stuff fingerprints and the very fine dust off. I figured that any remaining dust or residual would be soaked into the we ld-on, much like a filler...and thus not have much effect. I was correct. Again, use alcohol at your own risk...as there are conflicting posts. I am just telling what worked for me. So far, so good. No crazing, but my windshield is not in yet either. Now I have another thing to worry about. ;- ) But based on my experience so f ar...I am not anticipating any problems. Chao!

I used a piece of aluminum, put nut plates on one side and then milled out an area for the nut plates to fit inside the honeycomb area of the top. I then used pop rivets and epoxy to hold the aluminum to the ceiling. It makes if very easy to remove my lights or seat belt hanger if I need to replace of have a better idea.

My machine is painted so I don't really want to mount it from the outside skin. Seems like there's not too much load on the bracket (assuming nobody tugs on the straps, which is probably not a valid assumption) so perhaps just use sheet metal screws on the inside?

Albert Gardner Yuma, AZ -----Original Message----- Ok, it's been redesigned, punched out, tumbled, and ready to install. I will finish installing mine on Friday. They look great. Not trying to make money here, just taking advantage of my brothers equipment and I had promised 3 to RV10 guys in this area. We ran off 20, and 8 are already spoken for. $12 should cover the bracket and shipping. Any questions on how I installed mine, just give me a call.

They think they will be open for business again in about a month, with an expanded product line. The phone # works, the website is down for now. They will announce the new company on VAF and, presumably, here.

But I only need 1/4" & 1/2" openings. The safe air is $47 - a bit pricey. Also it is only in .90" size opening - too large . I cannot see making a firewall hole any larger than the minimum necessary. Also, I cannot fine the "sleeves" on the spruce site. Anyone have the part numbers, and I do not mean the "eyeball type". Maybe I will just wait for the the EPV guy in Utah to reopen.
