When we do the YAK Canopies, we place them on a table and nail a wooden
frame to match the outside of the frame. ( A jig). We also make a swinging
lever at the front to insure that the frame is square. Then take apart. DO
your restoration then fit the glass and put it back in the frame to do the
riveting. Do a few rivets and then put it airframe to check the fit. Then
back in the frame for the rest of the rivets.

Walt,
I found a pic of the piece you are talking about and think I can see how this would
work!

We have a jig for the Malcom Hood front slider. It is terrific for building new
frames. We would be happy to sell it at this point since we no longer operate
a restoration shop. If someone is interested, please contact me directly.
Obviously when you are drilling the holes you have to be very careful, drill slowly,
and make the hole oversize to allow for temperature variation.
We offer complete sets of new canopies in clear, tint, and UV tint, including the
Malcom Hood front slider (gives you about 3" additional height and much better
overall visibility), and our WW exclusive one piece rear canopy.
Happy Flying,
Barry

Thanks for the kind words Blitz and Rich.
I should have mentioned we have many sets of the rudder pedal mod in stock for
both Yaks and CJs.

Having hung nearly a dozen engines from "factory fresh" to 15 years sitting in
a crate, our experience has been that they have all started easily and run strong
right out of the box. That is no guarantee, but it is enough anectodal evidence
to suggest that a properly preserved engine is likely to be just fine.
Hope this helps.

You can make a simple jig yourself on a plywood bench. I disagree with putting
rivets back in unless you can get soft rivets and a rivet squeezer to control
the pressure. With the right size screws and low profile nylon insert nuts there
is nothing in the way or anything to catch on. I'll be happy to send you pics
of mine when I get back to the hangar. just give me an email.

There is only one area on the CJ canopy where you have to use rivets. That
is the aft end fairing of the front slider. All other rivets should be
replaced with 4-440 flush head screws and AN365 nuts.
You MUST use AN426A rivets. These are pure aluminum. The standard aircraft
rivet (flush head) is the AN426AD. These are alum. alloy and much too hard
for this application.
Even with the "A" rivet I manufacture bushings from 3/16" 5052 tubing 1/32"
longer than the Plexiglas thickness to carry the rivet load. And
definitely use a rivet squeeze!
For a nice job you should re-counter sink the original rivet holes to 100
degs. from the original 110 degs. for both the new rivets and 4-440 screws.
Holes in the glass should be 1/8" larger in dia. than the screw or rivet
bushing dia. which will allow some leeway for a mis-aligned hole. The
fastener should not come into contact with the glass.
This may sound like blasphemy but I do not re-grind drill bits or use a
special bit. The largest drill bit I use is a new 1/8" (or #30) to drill
the pilot holes. All drilling after that is with a Uni-Bit step drill which
will produce perfect holes with a chamfered edge. Note that it must be a
"Uni-Bit" - A single cutting edge.
