151...Trim the cowl halves on the trim lines marked.

152...Tape the cowl halves together with the right side inside the top.  The left side should overlap the right side 1/8”
to 3/16”.  Test fit to the pylon to make sure the cowl slips over the nacelle.  Glue the left and right cowl halves
together.  Trim the prop shaft opening in the front.

153...Assemble the motor and mount.  Bolt the motor to the fire-
wall with 6-32 x 1/2” screws.  Use a thread locker on all of these
screws.

154...Fit the cowl onto the pylon.  Center the prop shaft in the
front and make sure the cowl is far enough back to allow pro-
peller clearance.   Secure the cowl to the nacelle with three #2
sheet metal screws.  One centered on the top and one on each side
about 1/4” from the bottom.  The screws should be centered on
the P-3 firewall.   NOTE: Use caution not to run these screws into
the motor wires.

The will be a gap between the cowl and bottom of the firewall.
This gap will allow cooling air to exit the cowl.
