ORIGINAL: sctcrash
How did everyone go about cutting out the cowl? I just got a new cowl and need to cut it up to match the new engine. When I cut the first one I wound up with a lot of fibreglass strands dangling from my cuts. I even got some cracking around a couple of the cuts.
I started my cowl work with a dremel tool but I found a half round and rattail file to work best for me.
The cowl will chip and crack and the files seemed to give me more control over that problem.
Good luck and enjoy the UCD.
