Mount and dowel glued in place.
Dowel serves as front mount for cowling.
Front of cowl bottom with bevel sanded.
Glue this to the top of the cowl bottom, flush with
the rear.
Sand the edges of the ¼ inch dowel, and glue it into
the hole in the mount. Make it flush with the inside.
Sand the front of the cowl bottom so that it has a
bevel. This is needed to allow the bottom to fit
inside the very nose of the cowling.
Sand the inside of the cowling where the bottom will
be. Also true up the bottom of the cowling itself for
about 12 inches of the nose. Only sand enough to
even the bottom.
Don’t worry about the portion behind this, as we will
cut it off later.
Test fit the cowl bottom into the nose of the cowl.
Take your time, and sand a little more off of the
bottom until it slides all the way forward in the cowl.
