See, you should have talked to Brad first.  He pointed me at a great set

Now that I _finally_ have a working furnace in the shop, I can get my butt 
back to work.  Rob has done an awesome job in cleaning up the cut edges on 
the new canopy.  I've got about a half hour of sanding to go on the 
replacement skin to get it to final shape, and I'll be able to get that 
drilled & installed back on the canopy.  That just reminded me to order 
the #10-32 nuts needed for the bottom row on the trim I'm replacing. :)
