When fitting my pre-molded 0-200 cowl I found I needed to move it forward two inches, extend the front for a five inch prop extension, rebuild half the bottom for the carb, etc. I found the best procedure was to use a cutting wheel and cut away anything that rubbed, bumped, or otherwise interfered, mount the cowl, and then add back, re-shape, or otherwise replace the missing parts. Then at about the 200 flight hour mark I had a carb fire and had to rebuild a section of the bottom that suffered fire damage. Even when you're finished, you're not done. :-) Larry Flesner
