Anyone know of someone making small chin bubbles that would fit on the lower cowling?
My alternator pulley fits too closely and is starting to chew into the lower cowl under air loads, so I either have to make a mold, etc, or find someone who has already solved this one....

My hangarmate just completed a Glastar Sportsman and needed to add a bulge on the fiberglass cowling to accommodate some accessory. So they marked the spot, cut a circular hole, made a form using an object of appropriate size (in the hole) and glassed over it. After sanding, the bump-out looks like it belongs there and it provides the clearance they were looking for.
I'm not so comfortable with fiberglass myself, and have avoided those parts of the wingtips so far...

FWIW, I just went to one of the SportAir 2 day workshops on composites
last weekend. Prior to the class, I felt as you do. Now, I am
completely confident that I could do a cowling bubble or wingtips, and
although time consuming, it is actually pretty easy.
Spend a weekend at one of the SportAir classes - you won't regret it!
