I'm just starting to fit my cowl. I'm building an RV-9A with an O-320. I purchased a 2 1/4" prop extension and have installed that along with the ring gear/flywheel. I put the spinner backing plate on the prop extension. The top cowl sticks out in front of the spinner plate about 1 1/2" To make things fit it looks like I will have to trim almost 2" off the aft end of the top cowl. It will be very close to where the honey comb starts in some places. Does this sound right? This doesn't sound right to me. Maybe I have the wrong cowl. The cowl is marked for an RV-6/6A, but I assume that the 9 uses the same cowl.
Thanks,
