Work continued on the cowling, by removing the upper and lower cowlings. Decided to make a new hinge pin for the port side due to an extremely tight and somewhat bent fit. Polished and removed both and lubed them up. Better fit now. Began fabricating the lower Skybolt fittings. The left side is ready for countersinking and the right side is now ready for drilling. I also made an adapter plate for the right side of the lower nose cowl to accept the future nut plates. Seems I removed too much fiberglass during the trimming process.
