The panel was designed to be a very close fit. You have room as the panel will flex slightly. Just don't put upholstery under the mounts! ===== BRIAN ALLEY (N320WT) CARBON FIBER COMPOSITES How are you going to win by a nose if you don't stick out your neck? ________________________________ Message 2 _____________________________________ Time: 12:44:11 PM PST US From: "john" Subject: Tailwind-List: strobe light --> Tailwind-List message posted by: "john" Eric; I purchased my strobe from Kunzelmann in Penn. It is a streamlined unit with an adapter for tubing which I epoxyed to the top of the fin. I drilled and welded in place,vertical, in the top fin tubing, a tubing of 1/4" i.d. for the wire to pass through and two 1/4" pcs. of rod 3/4" long, drilled and tapped for #6 screw, which are also welded in the top fin tube to accept the mounting screws. I layed the fabric over the top of the fin and after it was positioned, I put a hole in the fabric for the strobe wire with a small soldering iron. I then install the strobe and wire, so that the wire could be secured inside the fin before the fabric was permanetly attached. The fabric was heat formed around the base of the strobe and looks nice.

The width between my upright tubes is 36.75". This is probably too close, huh?
