Has anyone considered making a different or better looking handle for the tilt canopy?
A 3d printed part that clamps over the handle would be nice. Bonus points for a gopro mount
Updated image of the assembly. Added sections of the canopy frame. I don't know the dimensions of the channel.

Here's a pdf of rev2 of the drawing:

Hey Guys,
Anyone care to give me the dimensions for the handle? The dimensions I need are shown as XX.XX. Once I get that and update the models and drawing I'll get a quote for making some of these. It will be anodized red.
Hi Doc (sorry, I don't know your actual name),
Thanks for the measurements. I can work with that. I've got a couple of questions:

Here it is with better tools:

By my calculations....the angle at the top is the arctangent of 0.625"/2.125" or 16.38966 degrees. That's 0.28605 radians to you brainy aches out there.
Hope that helps.

Scott, your arctangent equation only applies to right triangles. Perhaps the photo is misleading, but it appears to me that the angle where your two rulers meet is not 90 degrees. If you correct that, then your 0.625" measurement will shorten, resulting in something different than 16 deg for the angle at the top.

I would 3D printing one for a fit check first. Cheap. Fast.
Hey John. I can do the fit check for you if needed. Just need some contact information shared.
