While I was pulling the cowl off to work on the lower cowl rub, I decided to look at how to fit the nose fairing on. Came up with an order....forward nose fairing to lower cowl before installing - lower cowl in place per previous order - aft nose fariing to lower cowl....slide in from the rear - connect halves together - top cowl on per previous ordering
While fitting the forward nose fairing I discovered the top nutplates rubbing on the strut bolt.
