Brief Description: Oil filler door

- By watching the shadow of my finger through the cowl (looking through the cooling inlet) I marked the location approximately over the oil filler. - I drilled a pilot hole (photo 1) to verify that the filler was centered below. - Then I used the Dremel to cut out the flat-sided opening (photo 2). - After sanding all the edges I put it over the engine and it aligned perfectly.

Pilot hole to verity location of filler below.

Rough cutout, per plans.

Finished cutout, with cowl over engine.
