Spacer on a stick
From reading other builders comments on this phase of the canopy construction, I've read that it is pretty much impossible to hold the aft spacer in position with your fingers to drill a marker hole into the spacer using the previously drilled hole in the F-721-B as a guide. The bottom flange of the F-721-B prevents any kind of access. So I used my wife's super glue to fasten a 3/8" wooden dowel rod to the back of the C-668 spacers. Wood doesn't like to be glued to metal, so I let the bond cure for about 15 minutes and then hit it with a heat gun. Then I positioned the "spacer on a stick" under the previously drilled hole in the F-721-B deck and drilled a small hole into the spacer using the hole in the F-721-B as a guide. The hole wasn't very deep. I removed the spacer and finished the hole on the work bench. One thing I need to mention here is that the dowel rod should have been moved back and glued flush with the outer edge of the spacer. I had to removed some of the wood to get a good fit under the F-721-B deck.
