On my -9 T/U rear canopy, I drilled the pilot holes in the rollover bar, match drilled the canopy to the rollover bar, then went to work tapping threads. THEN... the dang tap snapped off flush in one of the rollover bar holes, making it impossible to get the remains of the tap out!!!![Mad :mad: :mad:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
Now I have a hole in the rear canopy that can't be used!! Anyone have a suggestion as to what to fill the plexiglass hole with??![Confused :confused: :confused:](data:image/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAIAAAAAAAP///yH5BAEAAAAALAAAAAABAAEAAAIBRAA7)
I went to Lowes aircraft tool supply and bought a new tap and it worked like drilling butter!!!
Moral of the story... don't use a cheap Harbor Freight tap set!!!!!!!!!!!
