 |

I am now contemplating the access door to get to the dip stick on my 601XL with WW Corvair engine. I have some ideas, but I would like to see what others have done, learn from your experience and maybe get it right the first time. I've had enough "do-overs" already, thank you.

What's wrong with William Wynne's standard cowling? Four quarter-turn
fasteners release the top right cover which exposes the dip stick. Pictures
attached of William's tail-dragger. Somebody (Bill Clapp?) bent his and
brought it out through the hole in the cowl. But I bet the standard
alternator position might block that.

Hi Jay,
I put in a door that's easy to make for the fiberglass cowling. Using
fine jigsaw blades in an Exacto blade holder, you can manually cut a
very fine door
from the cowl itself and then remount it on a frame plate and hinge with
Dzus fasteners. See link,

Good luck,

I'm with Craig on this one. The WW cowling really doesn't need another hole in it.
