Tonight I started drilling the roll bar to the attach brackets.  There is a specified order for drilling these holes, but it's easy to follow.  First, the forward holes were drilled to #30 using the pre-punched holes in the skins.

Then the skin is peeled back, and the rear holes are drilled to 3/16ths and countersunk for the screw that goes underneath the skin and spacer.

Then back to the forward holes to drill those to #19 for the #8 screws.  My extra spacer was countersunk for the dimple that will go in the skin for the screw that will be on the outside.  I did this on both sides.  Easy peasy!  I still need to drill the inside of the roll bar, and dimple the skin (forgot the #8 die at work).
