Whats the best way to handle the extra thickness where the top and bottom cowl over lap and bolt onto the firewall side. The extra thickness looks naff. I was going to bolt through them both but I could remove the lower cowl for an inch or so and bolt through the top or bolt through both by making a slot in the fuselage about an 1/8th deep. Views?

Hi Graeme,

   If the fuselage is filled and painted, cut away the overlapping part of the lower cowl, if not filled yet, cut a ''window'' into the firewall joggle, tape the cowl with packing tape [ to release] and fit both cowls together, and do a 6 Bid lay up to close off the hole.

   Nev.
