I've become very careful about chopping holes lately. I ordered a hinge (OIL DOOR HINGE 4640, Part #: 12-04708) and Latch (CESSNA LATCH KM610-64, Part #: 06-00676). I'll wait to cut the hole and door till the parts arrive just in case.
Before I hack a hole for the oil door, I have a few questions...
The manual says cut along the scribe line on the cowl, except there is no scribe line. Thanks Vans.
There is a recess area on the cowl, but it's not clearly defined with a scribe line. I took some measurements and drew some lines where it looks correct
I assume the Oil Door rests in the recess so it's flush. If that's correct, the door will end up 5-5/8" square.
Leaving the 3/8" flange on the cowl means the hole will be 4-7/8".
The drawing isn't to scale so I have to guestimate on dimensions.
That's not a huge hole to reach in and do anything.
Do those dimensions sound close?
