( 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.

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.

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. Barry -------- Barry Hancock Worldwide Warbirds, Inc.

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. -------- Keith McKinley 700HS X26 Sebastian, FL Read this topic online here: http://forums.matronics.com/viewtopic.php?p=407428#407428 ________________________________ Message 9 _____________________________________ Time: 09:28:11 PM PST US From: "Walter Lannon" Subject: Re: Yak-List: Re: Nanchang CJ 6 canopy 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.
