The long leg of the bracket holding the cowl is 2 inches. I glued some ply to the bracket and sanded to the contour of the cowl then drilled and tapped the six brackets. They were all a different size and I matched them up to the positions on the original wooden cowl ring. Air flow is a lot better.
Jim,
Thanks for the pictures. Let me know if that cured the heat problem. I am close to baffling and mounting the cowl. The heat problems are kind of freaking me out and would rather install 'the solution'.
