Brief Description:  More Cowl work #2

47-6, Steps 6, 8, 9, & 10

Brad assisted me again today.

Layout, drill #40, then cleco the holes common to the F-1001P Cowl Attach Hinges and the bottom cowl. Start at the bottom and work upwards. I finished the right side today.

Layout on the top cowl the two remaining holes on either side of the spinner opening as shown. Drill these holes #19 into the top and bottom cowl. Final-Drill the forward most hole #19.

Layout the split line along the sides of the top and bottom cowls. This line will extend from the aft edge of the cutouts to the forward edge of the F-1069-L and -R Fwd Fuse Side Skins. Adjust the overall split line as necessary if there is insufficient excess material on either the top or bottom cowls.

Remove the bottom cowl. Remove the excess material above the split line. Remove the 1/8 spacers from the front of the bottom cowl.

I also finished the two plates that replace the bottom hinges. With the bottom cowl off, I enlarged the holes to #19, then using a nutplate jig, I drilled the #40 holes to mount the nutplate. I then primed and applied a final coat to all the parts. I finished these parts by riveting the nutplates. I then rivited the left bottom plate to the fuselage. I'll rivet the right side during the next session.
