Above is a picture on the water in Florida (Fall of 2010) and you can see that I've run the control line in a different manner. It is tied so that as it comes out one side it goes in the other. Helps with line clutter.

..................

The four bolts above secure the track on one side of the cockpit seats. These bolts will all come back out to bed the track in some 3M 4000 or 4200. The arrow points to one bolt where I used a larger nut as a spacer. At this point I hadn't decided if I was going to cut some off the ends of the bolts or use spacers so that the end of the blot wasn't sticking down so much. Locknuts will be used on final assembly.

I wondered about space between the inner liner and the cockpit glass/plywood. There was very little and the bolts seemed to suck it up by pulling the inner liner up against the bottom of the cockpit shell. I'm going to go with it this way.

The top arrow points to the screws for the stock eyestrap the the main control sheet attaches to. The bottom two arrows point to the two bolts that connect to the brackets under the traveler in the cockpit center (see the fourth picture above). When I bed the track in these bolts will also get fender washers.
