Today was a real bad day. The canopy was _almost_ right, just 1/8" off on one side. Tried bending a bit more and cracked an aft bow near the center member. Later went to Ed D's house where he was kind enough to fix the crack by welding. Unfortunately the break allowed the canopy to 'untwist' from tension in the original welding process and I think this bow is best replaced. New bow on the way from Van's.

Here is the break.
-
Match drilling the oxygen bracket.
