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 RV-9A -- Brice Bowman Earshot Audio Post 6311 Westfield Blvd. Indianapolis, IN 46220 P: (317) 803-3727 F: (317) 396-2799 C: (317) 797-7025 ________________________________ Message 3 _____________________________________ Time: 02:14:49 PM PST US From: "Bret Smith" Subject: Re: RV9-List: Canopy Roll Bar 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.

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.
