Brief Description:  Installed Leather Cover on Left Side Cockpit

Installed safety wire on the right cross front turnbuckle. Ran a 1024 tap through the bottom left cowling mount to clear the treads and installed a 1024 pan head screw. Installed a 1024 by 1/2 inch screw in the right and left sides holding the front edge of each side panel.

Laid out the leather cover on the cockpit rail and marked each of the grommet locations on the side of the fuselage. Drilled a 1/4 inch hole at each marked location. Threaded a leather lace through the right end outer grommet and pulled it through the fuselage hole and through the matching grommet on the inside of the leather cover. Pulled the lace until it was long enough to reach the left end of the cover plus 5 inches. Threaded a loop of the lace through the next grommet to the left of the grommet laced down. Moved the loop through the fuselage hole and through the grommet on the inside. Ran the inside lace through the loop and pulled the laces tight. Continued the looping through the remaining grommets and pulled each tight. Cut the outside lace 4 inches longer than the cover and ran it through the last grommet. Tied the lace ends together and cut away the excess ends. Applied rubber cement to the knot and tucked the ends away.

Installed the remaining two screws in the oil filler assembly. Called it a day.
