My upper and lower cowl halves have been drilled and the hinges are clecoed in place.

The upper cowl to fuse gap is right at 1/16" - this seems "too wide". I'm wondering if the gap might grow over time as the parts break in? It would be lots easier to add micro now before riveting the hinges.

I left a bit more material on the bottom cowl to allow for final fitting (20-20 hindsight). The horizontal split hinge gaps are about 1/32" as specified in the plans.

It's odd how Vans is pretty explicit about the horizontal hinge gaps, but not about the cowl-to-fuse ones.

Thanks,
Jay

Remember that you will have paint on both sides of the gap.
