Brief Description:  Detwisting the cowling

The flange behind the spinner is almost perfect. I decided to add guiding piece so when I will be putting the top cowling on, there will be 1" high aluminium piece attached to the bottom flange located behind the spinner. It will also help retaining the fiberglass/epoxy to close the gap between the top and bottom cowling.

On the second picture, you can see that I was able to bring out the bottom cowling oval hole corner . But there still will be some fiberglass to do because the bottom front end corner is behind the top cowl. by a good 1/8".

The last one to redress is located in the air entrance pilot side, as it seems the top had shifted toward to outside. I cannot redress that in place because of the baffles that are installed so I might have tremove the baffle again to fix that. When that will be fix, I will be ready to fiberglass it for final adjustment.
