First, I found a source for the square pins that I need to repair the wire in one of the Rotax fittings.

For future reference, this from Rotax:

The Male PIN is a Molex 019417-0048 (18-22awg)
The Mating Female SOCKET would be a Molex 019420-0002
- - -
HIC-B, Pin 10, Powers the Lane "B" warning lamp.
22awg will be more than fine for the few MiliAmps carried by that circuit.

So while waiting for new sockets to show up, I pressed on with the cowling work.

I traced all the scribe lines on the top and bottom, then, using a Dremel tool and a cutoff wheel, I started trimming. Parts of the bottom cowl don't get trimmed to the scribe line -- 1/8" off it -- and I catalogued all of the trimmed off pieces just as I did when building N614EF. You never know.

I don't know how people do this without a Dremel tool. I can keep sanding to a minimum by cutting very close to the scribe line. Had to buy some more cutting wheels but most of it is done; I still have a couple of cutouts to do in the bottom cowling.
