I am going to use the hinge method of joining the top and bottom cowl halves. The holes for monting the cowl to the firewall are already done. I am guessing that the best way to do this is as follows. Am I doing anytihing wrong?
1. fasten bottom cowl half to the firewall 2. drill bottom cowl half and hinge section and cleco hinge to cowl 3. fasten top cowl half to the firewall 4. drill through top cowl half and top hinge half and cleco as far back as I am able to get my hand through the cowl and hold the hinge to the cowl while I am drilling 5. remove the whole shebang from the plane and drill any top cleco holes that could not be drilled while on the plane 6. separate hinge halves by removing hinge pin 7. remove clecos 8. sand hinge and cowl and apply epoxy 9. rivet hinges to cowl while epoxy is wet Brian Kraut Engineering Alternatives, Inc. www.engalt.com
