Zenith 750 Cruzer, Installing the forward top skin
November 30, 2024
Drilling and clecoeng the forward to skin.
Questions to Zenith about the skin.
My instrument panel is wide. I cannot wrap the skin around the cabin frame like on the drawings. I suspect the drawings is for the SD only.
Should the top skin be over the side skin or under, like the drawings says.
The most difficult - what to do with the 9 SS A5 rivets in the cabin frame? Should I remove them and set again through the top skin or I can leave the as is and the top skin will have a nice natural curvature for the windshield?
Zenith's ansrwers:
Yes, the drawings are incorrect. They are for the SD.
The forward top skin should go over the side skin and under the lip of the cabin frame.
Yes, the SS rivets are to be removed and drilled through the forward top skin.
