Used dremel to trim RH and LH Inlet Ramps to fit Top Cowl per Step 2, Sect 45-19. Lots of iterations - and lots of dust - to get good fit all around. Prepped for bonding, mixed batch of epoxy & cotton flox, then installed per Sect 45-20 Steps 1-4. Re-installed Top Cowl using all the hinge pins to insure cowl maintained shape and alignment. (worked ahead couple steps, pre-shaping edges for Baffle Seal contact, so I could use excess flox to start smoothing transitions)
