The plans call for #6 screws to fasten the windscreen to the roll bar, but rivets to fasten the front of the canopy to the slider frame. I am slowly rehabilitating my less-than-perfect canopy and need to re-do some of these rivets and probably add a few ones where a re-do wont cut it. I would rather use the #6 screws than pop rivets. Is there a good reason NOT to do this on the canopy frame?
The canopy frame stock is signficantly smaller diameter than the roll bar and probably has thinner wall thickness, so maybe tapping the #6 threads into it just isnt as secure as it is in the roll bar?
thanks for any thoughts you may have on this
