Pete,

If so how did you attach it (nutplates & screws)? Did you have to cut the dust shield to make it conform to the top of the instrument panel? Pete, Creativeness counts. I added 1/2 inch foam to the aft edge (nearest one's face) and wrapped this with BID to give the dust shield a beefier look (this also hides the cold cathode supplementary panel lights). I also added a glass tab (maybe 8 inches fwd to aft by 3 inches high (higher at the canopy strut attach area) along the longeron so the shield could be supported and screw attached while still allowing the inside canopy lip to ride down over the longeron. Yes, there are two SS machine screws (non-magnetic) that hold down the top to the panel and nut plates are used.
