Canopy guide?   Message List  
Reply | Forward Message #3703 of 6220 |
I drilled the safety latch lugs to the rear channel of the 7A tip up
this afternoon (with the help of my visiting .father-in-law who
suffers from Parkinsons... I'm writing a Letters From Flyover County
piece on him..look for it later on).

I recall seeing some folks who put some sort of a guide on the rollbar
so that the canopy frame isn't twisting or off-center as it closes.
The guide directs the latch lug down to the hole.

A quick search of the usual sites this afternoon, however, did not
reveal it to me. Does anyone have a plan for this feature anywhere?

No, actually I wasn't. (although your pictures helped immensely. Since I probably post more than anybody, I get a lot of direct emails in response to questions...
