I have 1984 MCI MC-9. I am going to install two panels on each side. One from roof line to the trim line and the second from the trim line to the top of the bay doors. I want to start my prep work in the morning and R&M is closed. I have watched the installation video and have a few questions about placement of foam. In their video they do not address the window section? Looks like I might be better off just riviting to the frame work and not messing with the foam, any thoughts? The bottom section seems easer but wondering about foam on top and bottom by the rivit lines. Seems like alot to rivit through. If you have done this before I am all ears. | ||

My window holes were braced halfway up and all the way across with welded square tubing across each span they skinned. Told me it would rattle if they didn't reinforce each window hole before the skin went on. They used sheet insulation cut to size. It works very well and I'm happy with the job. (Pro). | ||

Thanks Larry I've been looking at it and have come to the conclusion that is what needs to be done. I have bracing between windows but not in the exact center. I will have to add another in the center. I guess it will make it stronger than new. As most know this project is not about saving money it seems to be a thing of pride. I tried to use a materail that was alot lighter and after several days of fooling with it I called R&M and got the right stuff. I know that it will never be perfect but need to do as good of a job as I can. John |
