Continue fitting cowl.

Tape the skybolt cleco drill jigs to 5 skybolt brackets on top cowl.

Position top cowl and clamp nose bowl to spinner disk.

Shine flashlight inside cowl to illuminate location of drilled hole on outside of cowl.

Drill hole using #30 drill, cleco as drilled.

Top cowl is now secure.

Position bottom cowl and cleco to nose bowl.

Position last two skybolt brackets such that they are on a flat area of the bottom cowl, near the lower corners. I needed to use a shorter center to center distance to facilitate this. The measurement for the two lower brackets was shortened to 2 7/8" from a nominal 3 1/2".

Trim lower edge and corners of bottom cowl to allow it to sit on skybolt brackets.

Mark and trim bottom cowl sides per plans.

Mark and trim lower edge of bottom cowl. I am using a Showplanes cowl so the procedure was modified to account for the different cowl.

While it took only five minutes to write this, trimming the cowl required many installs and removals, sanding a little at a time to match the fuselage.
