I started working on the cowl pieces by mounting the original nose bowl to the cowling support stringers. This gave me a starting reference to go by, allowing me to measure the dimensionsneeded to mount the new nose bowl. I also put the original top cowl piece and the new bottom piece into place to square everything up. Now, I can mount the two new side pieces and have a nice firm assembly to help me mount the new nosebowl.

The top and bottom pieces mounted helps to square everything up.
