How wide should the gap between the top and bottom of the cowl be?
Pink cowl, using piano hinge to attach.

Cheers, Tom
 
No more than 1/16”, but more than 1/32”, before paint. Perhaps the width of a hacksaw blade. If too tight, the paint might chip.

I used my wife's fingernail file. With the upper and lower cowl in place, I ran the file along the split line and got the gap uniform and smooth. Then primer and paint.
