34. Cut the hole for the bottom oil cooler by removing the cowling from the fuselage and
placing it to the workbench. Use a Dremel tool to cut a hole 22-23 cm long, 7-8 cm
wide and 1.5 – 2 cm away from the bottom edge. After reinstalling and taping the
cowling to the fuselage inspect the bottom oil cooler opening. The cooler should have
1-1.5 cm space around, repeat the process until the opening is the right size.
35. Remove the upper cowling and mark the point on the lower cowling´s directly under
the gascolator drain and for the fuel drain. Remove the cowling and drill on the marked
points with Ø6 drill bit.
NOTE:
The hole under the fuel drain needs to be shifted 1cm to the starboard side and 1 cm
fwd
36. Widen the gascolator drainage hole to Ø57 and the fuel drain valve hole to Ø40.
NOTE:
To avoid tearing of the cowling´s insulation material hold it firmly down or partially
remove it and use adhesive to reinstall it after drilling.
37.
Reinstall the Akrapovič tailpipe. Try reinstalling the lower cowling and while
pushing
the cowling against the tailpipe gauge the location of the tailpipe opening in the
cowling.
NOTE:
Approximate location of the tailpipe opening is 15 cm from the center of the nosewheel
strut.
38. Use Dremel tool and cutting bit to cut a small hole in the marked area. Determine
more accurate location of the tailpipe and enlarge the opening so that the clearance is
1.5 cm around the tailpipe. Sand the edges of the opening with sandpaper.

39. Drill Ø5 holes for longest two lower fairing brackets (P/N: 1255003) 12 mm into the
fuselage rim and 5 cm to each side of the nosewheel strut. Install the two inner
brackets and install the lower cowling. Determine the location of the outer brackets
approximately 10 cm to the outside of the inner brackets. Drill Ø5 holes 12 mm aft of
the fuselage fwd edge and install the brackets.
40. Fasten the brackets to the fuselage´s lower edge with M5 bolts, washers and polistop
nuts. Make sure you apply Loctite 243 on all M5 bolt threads.
