I've already drilled all the holes in the front steel bow of my RV7A sliding canopy frame to final size (1/8"). These are the holes to attach the plexi.
Now I find that I would like to make a small adjustment to the bow to provide better alignment with the windscreen roll bar.
The question is: Is it possible to snap the front bow by bending it after it has been drilled.
I know it's quite possible to snap the small 1/2" rear bow because others have done exactly that.
Anybody out there tweaked the front bow after drilling with success...or failure.
