Hey guys,

Had to remove the cowl to secure the muffler that had worked loose and noticed small cracks developing
already in the cowl. Don't know if they are all this way but mine is very thin. I decided to reinforce it.
Took some finishing resin and layed in an extra layer of lightweight f-glass cloth inside the cowl. Didn't
add hardly any weight but made the cowl much stiffer. Redrilled the original mounting holes and it still
fits perfectly. I should have done this while I was assembling it cause I always thought it was too thin , but
you know how that goes (" I'll do it later "). Keep an eye on yours , might be harder to repair if large cracks
develop.
