Brief Description: Made Spacers for Aft Right Cowling
I took off the top brackets from the fuselage and drilled #30 holes for the camlocs. The brackets were clecoed back in place. The top cowl was put back on and clecoed. I decided to put a spacer in the area where the cowl sits too high, in the right shoulder area. I found an .040'' piece, 1/2x10'' and drilled it in place. This brought the cowl down, but not completely. The edge still stood up above the aluminum skin. I found two more scrap pieces of .032'' approximately 16'' long and drilled them in place. I clecoed everything back together on the fuselage. The bracket's last three holes were not lined up anymore. The cowl was placed back in place and clecoed. With the two sets of spacers, the cowl now is pulled down level with the skin. The bottom right corner of the cowl, however, now overlaps the bottom cowl.
The top cowling drilled in place
Looking forward-before any spacers, the top cowl sets 1/8" higher
