RE: Carden 37.5% Yak Build
Here's my cowl former (or like). This type of cowl is "front" heavy. The brace shown really does help with all the cowl shaking caused by idling engine. There is ZERO slope and ZERO play in the cowl now. It's as if it were connected to the fuse solid. Two of the screws on each side of the cowl (same screws that hold the halves together) go into the stiffner. From the outside it is completely hidden that it's there.
