Finish Kit

Top and Bottom Cowl  ( 6 hrs )

Inserted Cowl Hinge Pins (horiz upper hinge halves) per Sect 45-14 Step 1-10. Cut clearances for Hinge Pins on LH and RH sides  - but will install Cowl Pin Covers soon instead of finishing for tab mounting. Marked and drilled holes for upper hinge pins on Top Cowl.  Re-installed -- alignment still very good, so match drilled #40 holes per Steps11 at 45-15.   Drilled holes each side Spinner per 45-16, then riveted on 4 nutplates per Steps 1-4 at 45-17.   Used Cowl Pin Cover templates to mark  cut-outs on each side.
