Finishing up my 8A. Spent about 30 minutes trying to get the top cowl on yesterday. If the rear hinge was lined up, the side hinges were out of alignment and vice versa. I know I've had it on before, but it has always been difficult. So, I was thinking last night, if I cut away the fiberglass on the bottom to the depth of the "teeth", I can get the rear hinge lined up, and then push the the sides in from the outside (where they almost always end up).
Will mean some more leakage through the sides. Anyone think this would actually be a problem? The other option I thought of is to go with screws or something, lots more extra work, would add some weight.
