Lower seal on water radiator

[yankee-flyer]

Has anyone developed a way to get the lower seal in place against the bottom of the coolant radiator when installing the lower cowling by yourself? Spent an hour today after completing the 100-hour inspection and still don't think I have it completely in place.

Thanks

They key is to not be lifting the cowl as the seal comes in contact with the radiator flange.
What I do is install the cowl with the two long side pins.
Then un-pin the cowl on only the left side.
Move the left side of the cowl fwd until it touches the back of the spinner,
then move it straight aft and install the pin.

Works every time
