Holding rear spacers on roll bar.

While installing the roll bar on a slider, I figured out how to hold the rear spacers (C-668) while making a center point for finish drilling the spacers. It is a real pain to get behind the overhang of the aft canopy deck. I used a dab of 5 min. epoxy on a long wood screw. After you finish drilling the 1/4" hole, You can use the same setup to hold nut & washer while starting the threads on the nut with the bolt. This time just put a dab on nut and washer to hold it to spacer. I used a short 1/4" bolt to hold nut and washer in place on spacer untill epoxy dried. After you finish just put side pressure on wood screw and it will cleanly pop off.
