Hi guys,
Non-builder here looking for some guidance on what to do about some cracking along the lower cowl/scoop on my RV8. These forums have been a wealth of information for me.
Cracked started as a small line in the cowl, and is now growing and present on both sides.
No cracks on the inside of the cowl that I can see.
Is this an "inject with glue" kind of fix, or is it going to require something more invasive?
Searched and searched but couldn't find any posts relating to cracks around the scoop. I dont believe the actual scoop is separating. I had someone tell me it was a bondo that the builder had used to smooth out the curvature of the scoop to cowl.
Pics attached showing both sides. Smaller crack is forming on the left while larger is on the right.
Thanks!
