Parts Required Bag #

4 #106-22 Rubber grommets (large) 13A

1 #122-90 Canopy Box

4 #122-99 Canopy Retaining Knobs 13A

Refer to drawing #13

NOTE:

Before gluing any of the grommets into position, finish step "B" first.

A. Select four #106-22 rubber grommets and the canopy. Drill one 1/8th@ (0.125”) hole in the center of each

mounting cavity in the canopy sides. Slide the canopy in position on the model. Using any size 3mm screws,

attach the canopy to the model. Observe whether any of the holes need to be repositioned. Do so until all

four screws easily mount without distorting the canopy. Open each hole to a dimension of approximately

0.260" - 0.265" (6.60mm - 6.73mm) using an AH@ drill bit.

B. Insert each grommet into each hole. Assemble each canopy knob using one #0053-5 M3x16 socket set screw.

Tighten securely using Red or Green Loctite. Trial fit the canopy using the assembled retaining knobs.

Adjust if necessary. Once you are satisfied with the fit, go to the inside and secure the perimeter of each

grommet to the canopy with CA glue.
