FRP roof
I finished drilling all 46 holes in the roof for the 1/4 x 20 nutserts. First I clamped the 1/4" drill fixture to the roof and drill the hole and then used a counter sink to get the head below the surface. After all the holes are drilled and countersunk I had to slide the FRP forward and to one side about six inches. The FRP is 360#. Next I clamped the 25/64 drill fixture with the alignment pin to the frame and drill the hole. I installed the nutserts on the back and one side and then slide the FRP to the rear and other side to repeat the clamping, drilling and nutserting. I am happy to be done with the 229 nutserts. Today I trimmed the roof flush with the sides and the three 14" square holes for vents and A/C. Tomorrow I will lift the roof up and put the 3M VHB tape on and then lower the roof and install all of the bolts. I still need to finish putting epoxy on some of the bare edges. Wednesday I picked up my windows and they look great.
