Brief Description: Cowl fasteners just outside of spinner ring
In preparation for glassing the tabs for nutplates that will secure the cowl halves just outside of the spinner ring, I constructed a jig using 1" square steel tubing. Simply drilled four holes on two pieces with #40 drill bit all the way through. Then used those holes to match drill to the cowling halves on the spinner ring (these holes will be filled in later). This serves two purposes: 1) holds the cowling halves true to each other, and provides a base to secure the cowling to the workbench or stand on the floor. Tommorrow, the inside surfaces will be smoothed and ready for glass.
