Continue right cowl |
|
|
- Used a belt sander to remove some more material from the upper cowl to get a nice fit. - Decided on a hinge length (22.5"), made a hinge-half, and drilled the pilot holes. - Used cleco clamps to clamp it along the lower cowl, keeping the centerline of the hinge even with the edge of the cowl. - Drilled the holes in the cowl using the hinge pilot holes. - Mated the other hinge-half and put the hinge pin in. - With the lower cowl in place and the upper hinge half dangling above, I mounted the upper cowl and duct-taped it in place. - With a shop light inside the cowl and DIRECTLY behind the hinge holes I drilled a few key holes to using the points where the light shone through (photo #3, but in th photo I removed the top cowl so you can see better). You MUST make sur the light is DIRECTLY behind any holes you are going to drill. If not, then even a slightly shifted light source will make the hole look like it's in a different location and you will not get alignment. |
