Re: [VAL] Re: VAL Digest V3 #808



Hi Glyn:
	OK, good explanation; and now I remember the saga of the cast-in logo  
you went thru. I think you better sent a personal email to send the  
pics.

    Jo Ann,

    Essentially once the welt is in the track, you should be able to  
walk
along the side of your Bubble and pull the canvas welt along the track  
using
the draw string.  The pole idea is a thought I had to act as a longer  
hand
up at the welt as it goes into the track.  It would be used as a means  
of
aligning the welt with the track horizontally as without the pole the  
welt
would want to sag and bind at the beginning of the track.  The pole  
would be
used as a pusher so to speak, pushing the welt horizontally and in  
line with
the track.

    Some time before, I added an Airstream access door behind the  
curbside
wheel allowing use of the space under the aft berth for the first time  
and
as such, could not mount the lower Zip Dee aft arm six or so inches  
above
the belt line as is he norm.  I bought some extra upper arms and  
lengthened
the bottom arms enough to allow me to mount them on the belt line,  
thereby
avoiding the access door.  Please see the attached images and it will  
all
become clear.
