canopy pivot point ? 601xl

Installing the canopy frame rails and unable to find the measurement from the firewall web to the canopy pivot point on the top logerons in my 2005 plans.  I already have the engine and mounts installed and room for the canopy hinge brackets is limited. Needing to make the canopy hinge brackets because of the custom made corvair motor mounts. Looks like about 100 mm but need to be sure. Thanks Dan

measure the 6B6-4 that came with your kit.  If it is the one with the bolt welded to the front and has the pivot point upright attached, that will allow you to determine the distance.  I think.
