Joe,
Once again thanks for the advice.
I got my cowl fasterners that you recommended.
They work great.
As you have mentioned previously it is amazing how the templates that are recommended in the UCD manual work so well.
I have all my cowling holes cut now except for the exhaust and it really looks professional...and it's so simple to do their way.
I'm still trying to plan, measure twice cut once, the exhaust hole.
I would like to make it neat looking like the needle and fueler holes but I am afraid I will have no choice but to cut it pretty large in order to tighten the header to the cylinder head.
I'll keep looking at pictures on this thread for ideas.
Thanks again!
JLK
