I purchased a Westland bimini top, alum. frame thinking I would mount it inside the side windows on my boat. I ordered 6' length top, 73-78 width, and 48-54 height so I could stand up under it as I am 6'1. But when I tried to install it on the window frame I found out I cannot do it. My only way to mount it is outside on the hull using a side mount. How do I go about cutting this down now to fit without it standing up way too high in the air? Width and length dimensions will work fine, but where do I start to figure out how much to cut down- I need to measure it precisely but I am estimating about 12" will have to be cut off. The hardware on the frame is mostly riveted to the aluminum. I have a general idea how to proceed but don't want to screw it up. Thanks.
