Could someone with a Star Wars cockpit please give me the measurements for the metal bracket that holds down and joins the two canopy plexi pieces. I need to have this piece made since mine is missing. Thanks !
Perhaps this photo will help you figure it out. It's obviously 20-3/4" long, and over an 1" wide (maybe 2"?) for overlapping the plexi. Can't recall if it was flat or if it had the 1" bump for the cross piece in the center. You should be able to check yours for the hole placement..
I have seen pictures of the metal bracket, but it does not appear to run the entire width of the cabinet. I had to make a new wood cross piece since that was also missing. I have not drilled any holes yet.

By the way, your old thread was extremely helpful when I was restoring my game. My cabinet had several pieces that needed to be replaced along with the plexi's which I had repo'ed locally with your measurements. Thanks !

Luckily I have my SWC cab apart and was in the middle of restoring these parts - but unfortunately, I am a metric boy
Here is a VERY rough sketch of the part, but the measurements are accurate (ignore the 531mm for the upper centre measurement, it's late here) - the corner radius is 5mm
