b) Next fix the cowling parts to the scuttle moulding.

Offer up first and verify that

the two parts fit snugly together. Some sanding on the edges may be
necessary for a perfect fit.

There should be 7 fixings across the rear of the upper cowling part. Start with
one  in  the  centre  and    one  on  the  outside  30mm  from  the  angle  chage  as
shown  below.  The  others  shoudl  be  evenly  spaced  from  the  centre  (approx
140/150mm apart).

The lower cowling has three fixings each side. Start with the upper one 25mm
below  the  joggled  edge.  Next  one  170mm  below  that  and  the  final  one
underneath the curve 60mm from the final edge.

Figure 190 fixing the cowlings to the scuttle (note cowling may now be supplied with moulded

vent holes in lower sides, adjust position of fixing holes accordingly).
