Bob,
Thank you for taking a close look at my build photo=85as I read your
post, you=92re asking if I have shortened the plastic clevises.
=46rom the XS build manual, I read:
> Cut off a 32 mm (11/4=93) piece of the threaded rod and screw on the
two plastic fork-ends until they are butted together
I read nothing about shortening the plastic clevises; rather, it appears
to me that the intent of the instructions is to ensure that the
shortened length of threaded rod allows for the plastic fork-ends to
abut one another.
My top has been bonded on for several years, so you raise a possible
issue of some significance.
Have I missed a bit of Europa-lore which never made it into print in the
manual?=85or what?
All comments appreciated,
Fred
