Attached is a pic of my Smith Mini with the canopy on. This plane sat abandoned in a hanger for 15 years before I got her. Now the canopy is detached from the plane. I have the outside rail that is attached to the canopy and I have the inner rail that is attached to the fuselage but am missing the middle roller part of the slide assembly. I am wondering if someone else has the same or similar canopy and might have a lead on where to look for a replacement slide. The over all height of the outer rail is 1 and 1/4" and I can find nothing that matches that height. I may have to replace the entire slide assembly but am hoping someone can give me a lead. I have seen this canopy on other bipes so I don't think it is a "one off" but I don't see it at Todd's or Steens. The trailing edge of the canopy has a bumped up part to clear the headrest. The log book shows when the canopy was mounted but no info on what it is.
