5. Check that the cowl is aligned with the spinner
backplate. There should also be a 5/64-inch
(2mm) gap between the backplate and cowl.
You may need to remove the tape and adjust the
position of the cowl for proper alignment.
6. Once aligned, use a pin vise and 1/16-inch
(1.5mm) drill bit to drill through the top two holes
in the cowl and into the fuselage.
7. Install two 2mm x 6mm sheet metal screws using
a #1 Phillips screwdriver to hold the position of the
cowl. Use a pin vise and 1/16-inch (1.5mm) drill
bit to drill the remaining two holes for mounting the
cowl.
8. Remove the cowl from the fuselage. Place
2–3 drops of thin CA in each hole to harden the
surrounding wood. This harder surface makes the
screws more secure when installed.
9. The cowl can now be secured to the fuselage
using the four 2mm x 6mm sheet metal screws.
Tighten the screws using a #1 Phillips screwdriver.
