More cowling

Hours: 6.0 | Posted in Cowling & Baffles

More cowling work.  Fabricated camloc mounting strips for the bottom edge, and drilled them in place.  Marked and cut the opening for the oil door.  Fit and trimmed the bottom cowl several times, matching the bottom edge, rear edge, and drilling the holes in the air inlets which join the upper and lower cowls.  Drilled the cowl to the vertical hinges that attach it to the firewall.  Once things fit decently, I marked and cut the overlap between top & bottom cowls, letting it fit close for now; later, it will be sanded back for a paint gap.  Cut and pre-drilled the hinge segments which join the cowls, and started to fit them to the lower cowl before calling it a night.
