Brief Description: Nose bowl
|
|
Got my 2-piece nosebowl and excitedly got it ready to attach to the wooden disk I fabricated last year to hold the nosebowl the correct distance from the engine (using the prop flange).
A number of deck screws were inserted through the disk and then through the nosebowl behind it, to hold it in position. Since the spinner is 13" wide (diameter of wooden disk), it will cover any holes in the nosebowl here. I am impresed with how well the dimentions of the nosebowl mesh with the the firewall dimensions. Recall that this nosebowl comes from Wylliam Wynne's flycorvair operation, and was specifically designed for the corvair engine, so I will be following his installation protocol as much as possible.
You might be wondering why I'm doing this now, and not completing all the intricate firewall forward installations like fuel lines, electrical, ignition, control cables, etc...first. Here are my reasons:
1) I don't have the intake manifold from WW yet, and that is the final piece I need to get the final location in space of the carburetor. Without that position, I can't really start fitting control cables.
2) I can't create the baffling for the engine without at least a rough cowling in place to guide the dimensions of the baffling.
3) It provides immediate rewards in making the project look like a plane, and that's just fun!
