Slowly getting there with fitting the cowling.
Another week and it should be all done I hope. Then I can move onto some other jobs.
 |
| Hinge pin securing at the rear - will use one of the cowl fasteners as double duty to secure the pin here. |
 |
| When the pin is pushed right in it is away out of sight. |
 |
| Masking off the top cowl to make the flange on the lower front half. |
 |
| Flange all done and Tinnermans in place - all very flush. |
 |
| Early look at oil door size and positioning. |
 |
| I made this mock up out of cardboard to see if the hole size was going to be comfortable for my hand to fit through. - I ended up making it slightly bigger than this width wise. |
 |
| Final alignment of the inlet rings before bonding them in place on the cowl lower. |
 |
| Bonding in the inlet rings - just a small amount of flock at the front at first. |
 |
| Also closing up the gap in the front top section here. |
 |
| Drilling and countersinking the fastener holes for the rear of the cowl. |
 |
| Oil door just after cutting out. Figuring out the placement of the hinge here. |
 |
| Bonding in the inlet rings from the back now using a shed load of flock - very secure and strong now! |
 |
| Laying up the flange for the oil door. |
 |
| Rear cowl brackets with sprung fastener in place - pretty flush so won't affect the air flow too much. |
