Ran into a little snafu, might be something simple plz help....
I never got around to putting all the retaining screws in my engine cowl till today and come to find out with the top 3 screws in place, the bottom 2 that are by the canister tunnel do not line up. Upon further inspection they are both up and in about 1/8" on blind nut side ( cowl ) compared to the holes on the Fuse. Also you can see on the little lite-ply backing plate that was attached to the cowl when shipped that they had to elongate the holes to even put that on.
I went back in this thread to see if I could find any info and all mention of any cowl problems I could find were in relation to the older cowl with the 2 wooden tabs on the bottom.
any help would be appreciated
I had a misalignment of the bottom two as well. Its an easy fix. I redrilled all of the holes in the mounting tabs sightly larger to facilitate starting all the bolts before tightening any. If remember correctly the bit I used was about 1/16th oversize.. There us plenty of meat in the mounting tabs for this modification.
