Brief Description:  Lower Cowl Hinge Install 1

I installed all the hinges per plans. I also did some filling of pin holes in the cowls with glaze. I tried the solution Van's plan calls for with 50% dilutes epoxy resin but I did not like that because it doesn't sand smooth very well.

My hinge pins do NOT go in very easy. I have wiggled them a lot and examined what's going on but they get stuck. I've sanded more space between the mating surfaces. It is a little frustrating but I'm moving on for now. I will probably by some small diameter stainless pins for initial use.

I also dis some fiberglass repair here and there with the two halves didn't fit well together. I will paint this cowl soon and call it done. Then back to engine install.
