Brief Description: Sec 47-7 and Sec 47-8 all steps
finished riveting the Right side hinge to the upper cowl. Test fit the upper cowl to the fuse with the bottom cowl clecoed in place. It still fits just fine. I inserted the hinge pins all but the last 1 1/2" on the upper cowl. They are not easy to get in but do go if you take some time with them. I then riveted the bottom attach plates to the firewal along with the #8 nutplates attached. final sanded the aft edge of the bottom cowl to provide proper clearance/gap with fuse skins and also sanded the horizontal seam between the upper and bottom colw halves. I inserted the hinge pin into the bottom hinge while it was still clecoed to the colw and drilled #40 through the firewall at the point where the hinge struck the firewall. this is so that I can put the hinge pins in from inside of the cockpit and eliminate any external provisions. I did use Van's hardware to partially hide the upper hinge pins. Then Prosealed and Rivited all of the remaining hinges to the bottom cowl.
