Hi all.

While on the road with Phil and Bernie, we made a new PVC bit for
Bernies hatch. Ended up being a little short, but worked. (the best
part was the salesman at the building supply store getting on the horn
asking an employee to cut a 6.5" piece of PVC   ;)

This has been discussed I'm sure, but I can see how the PVC could be
bumped out of the way while in use. It occurred to me that there might
be room for one to slip something ( a 10mm bolt ?) between the PVC and
strut (at strut housing end) while it's in use. Maybe keep this
"something" handy by attaching to curtain strap or rail? I would
imagine the pressure of all parts combined would keep the chosen
"something" in place.

Of course this isn't the right way to fix the hatch strut(s) (IMO) but
just a thought,

Neil.
