I fit my top and bottom cowl this weekend. The cowl wouldn't lay on the firewall without pushing it down in the center. It was really tough pushing down, marking, cutting filing, re-filing 1001 times to get that just right fit. Afterwards I pulled the pins across the top of the firewall and down the sides on the bottom cowl, removed the cowls, filed the corners of the hinges. I cut a small door to access the hinge pins on the top. It's impossible for me to install by myself, I can get the hinges started together on the lower ends but the top bulges up where I need to start the pins. Pushing down in the center makes the ends pop out. I'm ready to run a 1/4" saw blade down the middle and relieve some pressure and reglass. Has anyone else done this or will the fit I have now relax itself and finally conform over time? I've searched the archives but failed to find an answer. Any help here on previous builders solutions would greatly be appreciated.
Thanks Mike
