On the plans it shows the aluminum latch that hooks on the pin of the roll bar being trimmed from the forward edge back. When my canopy is closed, the hook doesn't extend forward enough to catch the pin...I would have to trim the AFT side of the hook forward about 1/2 inch to make it catch.
Is this just another shortcoming of the Van's plans? My guess is that you trim the aft side of the catch to make it fit, then once it catches on the pin you can trim any excess off the forward side. Any advice?
