I am positioning the forward canopy frame skin (e.g. instrument panel sunshade/dashboard...) and its trailing edge gets drilled to and riveted to the tube. Trouble is the hinge arm that is welded to the ''tube'' is not flush, not even close to flush with the tube. The skin looks like it hit a speed bump trying to get over that poor weld. My brain tells me the weld is bad and it must be cut and rewelded more or less flush to the tube. Is there another option I cannot see to eliminate the speed bump in the dashboard? Why does it have to sit in front of my eyes 24/7 when I would be flying. All right. Complaining over. How has anyone else dealt with solving this? I am not a welder, but could find one I guess. Thanks.
The co pilot side is much better and can be filed a little to make it work fine.
