Tonight I finished fitting the cowl. All the hinge wires went in without too much trouble. The fit is pretty good. On the top cowl, right side the cowl to fuselage gap is larger than I would have liked. It's about 1/16". The left side is much closer fit and looks nicer. Overall I'm pleased. I don't know how many times I took the cowl on and off to get the fit right. I got very good at doing it myself.
This feels like a huge milestone. Bigger than almost anything else I've completed. I'm not sure why that is. But it just feels like I can see light at the end of the tunnel. It's probably just a flashlight.
I'm getting excited!
Here's a couple of pictures. I bought the hinge wire with the welded clip from Vans. Very nice and worth the $26.
And the clip.
