I laid the glass in after i protected it with masking tape on the edges. Its a good fit. I spaced it out to acount for the spacing on the glass, glue and mounting tab. Hear it is ready to glass in the mounting flange.

Here it is with a 3" wide glass flange. Its plenty strong and thick with 3 layers of fiber. Then i just popped it out.

After the glass is removed this is the opening for it with the new mounting flange. A ruff opening.

Then i trimmed it to 1/2 " all the way around.

I then placed the glass in with a 1/16 tape wrapped around it to provide a nice fit without being to tight.

A layer of filler is applied.....sanded and reapplied and sanded
