Hello Pete, I made 5 small "L" brackets and flush riveted them to the back of the panel. I installed nutplates in the brackets to accept the machine screws through the dust cover. The dust cover is very flexible and I found that these attach points make it conform perfectly to the upper panel. At the rear, I simply tuck it beneath the lip of the header tank. I covered it with black "ultra leather" and it looks almost like I knew what I wuz doin. At the rear, I cut two slots to allow the forward canopy hinge brackets to pass through. Let me know if you'd like some photos. Bill Harrelson 5zq@cox.net N5ZQ LNC2 Dogwood Airpark, Fredericksburg, VA
