Brief Description:  Install prop gov linkage; cowl flanges

As part of the control cable fitup, it was time to install the prop gov cable. Try as might, there was no way to screw on the cable end to the rod end bearing. So, off comes the governer, apart comes the linkage to do the install. Once the rod end was in place, it was easy though tedious to put everthing back together. Happy to have that done.

Fabricated and installed the mounting strip for the cowling. This is 40 mil 1-7/8" strip, rather than the Skybolt brackets provided with the kit. I didn't like how the brackets were lining up on the the rivet line and I heard reports about the zig-zags catching the cowl and damaging it during install. I decided to go with a clean, single strip install
