Upper cowl skybolt progress and BRS fairing sanding

Most of the Skybolt fasteners are installed for the upper cowl. (I'm going to wait for the final 3 on each side until I fit the lower cowl.)

The Skybolt fasteners look good. I still have to do some adjusting for the final fit.

I used the o-ring method to hold everything in place until after final paint when I will put on the metal retainers.

I was able to rivet everything fairly easily other than the area around the brake reservoir.

This photo does not show it well but a small led light under the cowling made it easy to see where to drill the holes.

The BRS fairing is ready for a coat of filler (RAGE ... XTREME!!):
