Brief Description:  Cowl 10 - Trimming the sides

SHIMS.

Made some shims for the bottom hinges.

TRIMMING THE SIDES.

Trimmed the top cowl and sanded with the long block.

Attached both cowls (and hinges) and marked the bottom cowl side.

Trimmed and sanded with long block. Took a few goes and went for a 1/16" gap and very pleased so far. When I attached the bottom cowl I placed enough pressure on the strap so that the bottom hinges were not pre-loaded ie slid in and out easily. This something I will re-check before drilling the top to the side hinge.
