Brief Description:  Cowl Attachment - New Hinges

Created new forward hinges for attachment of the cowl to the fuselage hinges. Created all of the required hinges with the two 3 ft. hinges received from Van's. Ended up with one 3 ft. hinge half unused.

Primed the hinges using rattle can etching primer.

Attached the old hinges to the tops and sides, and the new hinges to the bottom, installed the cowls, and drilled the new bottom hinges through the existing holes in the cowl.

Removed the top cowl, replaced the forward hinges, re-installed the top cowl and drilled the new top hinges through the existing cowl holes.

Removed the bottom cowl and replaced the side hinges. Re-installed the bottom cowl and drilled the new side hinges.

Removed the cowls and all hinges and de-burred the hinges. Decided that the bottom hinges still have some of the holes too close to the hinge barrels, so cut new bottom hinge forward halves again from the left over hinge half. Primed these hinges.

Installed the new governor control bracket (Show Planes PC-10) onto the prop governor. Disconnected the fuel injector line, routed it through the new bracket before attaching the bracket, and re-conected it. Also had to move the injector line support bracket down the pushrod tube to avoid interference with the governor bracket.
