Canopy height

The canopy is from Todds I checked the height with another RV8 with a Tods and its the same height but I think the Todds might be a bit taller than the Vans canopy. A bit off the topic but I did mount my wheel fairings 3/4 of a inch high because they are so easy to damage. The problem with this is that the brake caliper bolt rubs against the inside of the fairing. I was going to put a blister in the fairing but then I saw a photo taken at the 2009 LOE Flyin where a person had cut a triangle sape hole in the fairing where the bolt was touching, I think I might do that.......Anyone have any thoughts on this?Thanks
