<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">I have been through that problem and you have to have a good sized stiffener there of some sort. I could not afford the room as an intrusion of internal space.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;">This is the solution and the angle of the additional reinforcing cone is 22.5 degrees being half the 45 degrees of the cone. This survived an FEA analysis. The end of the cone is where my window was attached.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
