Great idea, Thanks Terry. Would thick CA handle it or would you reccomend a dab of epoxy?The screws only have a 1/4 spruce stick to bite and there is not a lot of wood left around them. I may have to build up the hold down area but I think it's worth it. If this cowl ever let go it would not be pretty. Made the 200 odd mile round trip to the LHS today. Tried another one and boy, did I hit the jackpot. This place has everything. And more. The folks around the Spokane area will know who I mean. One of the best stocked shops I have ever seen. My eyes are failing a little and I have a hard time reading small print across a counter. They let me roam around behind the counters and pick stuff off the wall and hand it to my finance minister. She followed along and kept all the little bags in one pile. Thanks B&B!
I have almost all the parts and supplies I will need to finish her now. Except paint which I will have mixed at my local body shop.
