engine head clearance, needle valve, muffler.
Remove the cowl and make these cutouts using a
rotary tool with a cutting disc and a rotary sanding
drum attachment.
3)
Slide the cowl back into place. Align the front of
the cowl with the crankshaft of the engine. The front
of the cowl should be positioned so the crankshaft is
in the middle of the precut opening. Hold the cowl
firmly in place using several pieces of masking tape.

While holding the cowl firmly in position,
drill four 1,6mm pilot holes through both the
cowl and the side edges of the firewall.

Enlarging the holes through the cowl will
prevent the fiberglass from splitting when the
mounting screws are installed.
