I am in the process of bolting on the slider canopy roll bar for my 9A. I'm
curious how to get access to the bottom side of the aft bolts to put on the
spacer, washer and nut. I can barely get my little finger in there, let
alone hold the spacer on while I put on the washer and twist the nut on. Any
ideas/tricks would be appreciated.
Also wondering what folks used for shims under the base of the roll bar to
get the roll bar to 90 degrees. My roll bar needs about .080 under the right
aft bolt and .040 under the left aft bolt. Are large custom aluminum washers
ok here? I don't have the tools to create an aluminum shim that would fit
under the entire the roll bar flange (about 4" x 1" - graduated from 0.00 to
.080 in thickness). Any thoughts?
Thanks in advance,
Brice Bowman

Brice,
I used a step-drill and drilled an access hole in the lower flange large
enough to get a socket in to hold the nut. I also glued the washer to the
nut for positioning until I got it started on the bolt. As far as shimming,
I would use AL sheet and cut several pieces different lengths and graduate
them by stacking.

I am not as far along as you, so I am not familiar with your exact
problem. However, I have had luck by putting a strong magnet on
screwdrivers and socket extensions to hold washers and nuts in place.
My particular magnets came out of computer hard drives.
