Need some cowl pictures

Just wrapping up the filter airbox installation and could use a good picture to show what is meant in the instructions by "notching" the rubber trim that interfaces with the inside of the scoop. I have done the scoop fiberglass/balloon work and am about to cut the inside to match up with the front of the filter box.
I assume these notches are to enable installation and removal of the cowl when the prop etc is all in place but I cannot get the picture in my mind about exactly what is required.:confused:
 
Here's what mine ended up looking like (-6A, but I think it's same seal setup as 7/7A):

I had to cut the notches in the bottom corners of the lower seal material in order to allow easier installation/removal of the lower cowl. I believe those are the notches you are asking about.
