Thanks..
I did a Mold of the inner back of cowl. Epoxied it to the front half, and used that as a way of attachment.
A VERY tight fit.. SO much so, that I had to reinforce the front of the cowl, so I wouldn't bust it up, while attaching it..
This is do to the Tapper of the cowling... Easy to slide the front of cowl through the back, and then snip inplace....but obviously, wouldn't work
if the engine is there!...LOL.....

I could go without screws to hold it on, but I didn't want to take a chance.

1.place the back half of cowl
2. place engine on firewall
3. place front cover of cowl
4, spinner/ prop ect ect...

Obviously, it took some time to do the fiberglassing, but worth the effort.

The Pictures were BEFORE the 2 screws were used to cinch up the fit, and red matching paint was on, to
form a invisible line.

If I hate it, I have a brand new H9 TIgermoth in a box, that I can mold a NEW cowl from...
