I'm trial fitting my new sills and triangle supports to my new longs. When the sill itself is in the correct position and engaging the steps formed into the top of the triangle, the bottom point of the triangle is flying a good 1/2" below the radius on the bottom of the long. I know that nothing ever fits right off the shelf and will require some massaging but I'm wondering if anyone else has encountered this? It LOOKS like the bottom of the triangle is formed like it is to allow water/crud to fall out of the bottom. I just didn't know if there was something crucial about the length of this part--like to keep the fiberglass or metal long covers spaced away from the longs once reinstalled. When I hold the fiberglass cover up, the triangles are preventing it's bottom edge from contacting the steel long so stress would be put on the areas where the fasteners go.
Before I go to work modifying these parts, can somebody please take a look and advise? Thanks! |
