Fitting the Slider Frame

I assembled the Wd-644/C-658 roller assemblies (see DWG 41, Detail A) and inserted them into the tubes of the Wd640 Canopy Frame. Light clamping pressure with a small C-clamp held them in — I did not need to drill them to the frame until all canopy fitting adjustment had been made.

I cut the C-657 Canopy Tracks to length as shown on DWG 41.

I laid-out and pre-drilled the screw holes using a #40 bit using DWG 42, Sliding Canopy Top View for screw hole spacing. I then clamped the C-657 canopy tracks onto the F-721B Aft Canopy Decks.

I drilled the hole through C-661 per DWG 43, C-661 Detail View and then positioned the C-661 rear slider block under the receptacle on the rear center of the canopy frame weldment.

I drilled through C-661 and the canopy frame and inserted the bolt as shown in DWG 43, Detail J. Then I removed C-661 and de-burred the holes.

Time: 4 hours.
