Cockpit and upper frame installed

This week, I determined that I was missing a couple of things that were needed to install the cockpit. When I got my kit, I did not receive the weatherstripping or 4 large rubber washers that isolate the frame from the cockpit. Fortunately, a quick trip to Home Depot and about $10 remedied that oversight.

I got the weatherstripping laid without any problem
and then Del Poe

came over before playing golf on Friday and we managed to get the cockpit and upper frame installed. Both pieces dropped into place beautifully.


I still need to drill a few holes in the fiberglass for the bolts that will fasten the tub to the frame, and do some riviting around the footboxes. I think I also drill the holes for the seat brackets now too.
