Check for the gaps last time I had the upper and lower cowling in place already. Therefore, I Decided to skip steps 4-5. Then, I finished the oil door by microsinking the rivet heads into the upper cowling and the oil door before riveting the googse neck hinges in place. It was only then that I realized, that I forgot to install the oil cap holder. Therefore, removed the two aft oil door rivets and re-riveted this time with the oil cap holder in position. Still didn't work out well, because the rivets from Vans' (AN426-3-3.5) were to short with the additional metal piece in between. Reverted to AN426-3-4.5 which worked fine in the end.
