< 1.25 inch metal strip, for skybolt fasteners. 3.5
inch spacing, except the lower corners,( in order to get the spacing
even).
Two lolli-pop sticks, from the spinner > |
 |
 |
< Skybolt fasteners for the top cowling, and the standard
piano hinge for the lower cowling.
Over lap; with the bottom cowling in place, I had to cut the front
corners back.> |
 |
 |
< Cowlings in place, note the red line (the amount of
overlap, on the cowlings that had to be trimmed away).
Instead of an overlap, I now have a butt seam >
|
 |
 |
< Just checking the overall fit.
Clamping the aluminum strip to the cowling (ready for drilling); I
think I used 0.063 thick strips.> |
 |
 |
< Used one inch rivet spacing to attach the aluminum
strip and piano hinge to the bottom cowling.
I'll put a "Z" in the piano hinge wire, and hook it under the
'L' bracket, so it can't work up. |

 |
< The cowling is close to the engine on the left side. The rear baffle, is only about 1/8th of an inch from the
cowling. I'll probably cut the piece off, and put a 90 degree angle on the
inside of the baffling.
Lower bracket, the drawing shows the bracket on the under side of the
engine mount, but I found it fits better (so far) on the upper side >

 |
< Filling (or trying to) all the pin holes in the
cowling. |
