Either the width of the canopy frame has changed since LBII was built or the countersunk machine screws for the canopy/strut attachment supplied with the new "Steel canopy gas strut kit" are wrong. The screws are maybe 3 mm longer than the ones that came out, and bottom out against the outside of the frame before the screw is seated in the countersink. I used the old screws. Also, the new tiny steel locknuts supplied are a bear to work with compared with the nylon insert locknuts originally supplied. Since this area doesn't get hot (I hope!) does anyone know why the switch was made?
