 |
|
I ended up starting over. The oil cooler was still hitting the bottom of the cowl. I ended up cut a square "V" in the bottom cowl. That was my main problem from the beginning.
I took the piano hinge off with a heat gun and then reinstalled the lower cowl. I move it back a 1/4 inch and trim the excess off as it was hitting the back of the prop bulkhead. I then had to re-drill the holes and put cleos in them. I measure the cowling from the lower nose landing gear and installed the lower cowling. An interesting thing was that the cowling was not the same on both sides. the left side was 41 1/2" from the floor. The right was 41 1/4". I then put the piano hinge back on and worked the hinge points until it dropped into place and the rod would go in with a little pressure. The top cowling had to be trim back also and then the right side had to be trim to fit. I does now.
I'd like to thank all those that help me with this problem.
