After trimming the bottom cowl to fit more closely with the top I found that the bottom cowl skybolts were not lined up. It was causing the cowl to be offset especially on the right lower side. To fix this I decided to redo the bottom mounts. Fiberglass is great because you can fill holes / tweak things with very little downside - other than time!
Original mounting location looks good on the left side.
Trimming cowl sides revealed bad fit on right side:
Good fit - on left side!
I enlarged the right gear cut out but the fit was still bad:
Original bottom skybolts removed:
Filling the holes and beefing up lower cowl extensions:
Fabricated new skybolt mounting flanges:
Drilling cowl and flanges for skybolts:
Left side done:
Left side riveted on to firewall flange:
All done with rework!
