Ron,
Thanks for the comments.  I've ordered a second pair of strickers and alignment plates.  I will also follow the current manual revision regarding the stiffener stiffening in the front.  I'm still not sure how the defroster works without using the stiffener as a plenum and blowing air through holes.  I know some folks were installing a guide plate over the holes to jet the air up against the glass and cover the holes from view.

I've already had to split the stiffener in the back to fit it.  I actually ended up with a slight gap, as opposed to having to remove material as inferred in the manual and noted by others.  The canopy skin will likely also require cutting, though I think I may get away with just one or two cuts.

 Cheers,
- Kyrilian
