Hatching A Plan
On Saturday, I decided to cut and test fit the home made spot welded hatch lips to the large sliding hatch opening. I used Bob's cut off saw to ensure that the four pieces "met" at a 45o angle - thus the "caltrops".
A couple of issues arose - the first being an overlap at the flange ends of the lips, but nothing that could not be trimmed off with a grinder. The second was the warping of the roof from previous owners walking on the roof. Some work with a jack may have to be completed to bring the roof back into "true". Once the roof is sorted out, I will tack weld the strips to the opening. A little progress made. Photos: 1 - the hatch opening before 2 - the new "lips" 3 - the hatch opening after - test fitting
