Brief Description:  Engine Cowls.

Been busy over the past week or so with family that are now finally allowed to visit as Covid restrictions are lifted, first home visit in four months.
I have also been struggling with the new engine cowls.
The finish is very good, but the top and bottom cowls do not fit together, even standing them up on their ends on the floor the joggles are not even close.
When I attempted to install them on the aircraft the join is under major pressure and not fitting.
I will contact the factory and see if they have any ideas, something is very wrong.
I have placed the original cowls into place and they fit beautifully, it's a shame the finish is not too good.
I think I may need to use the original cowls and do a lot of preparation work before painting.
I modified the right nostril on the original cowl to match the left which was modified to accommodate the external alternator.
