Hi,
I have just mounted my lower cowl which mates pretty nicely behind the spinner itself. Unfortunately, at the outboard ends of the inlets, there is a significant "overbite", perhaps nearly 1/8".
Have others encountered this, and how did you resolve? Solutions coming to my mind include fiberglassing over the entire area or forcing the halves into alignment when drilling the joining hinge. Neither of these are giving me a warm fuzzy feeling.
Thanks,
Paul
