Oil Door and Cowl Pin Covers ( 4 hrs )
Started revisions to Oil Door to accommodate Hidden Hinge (by Avery Tool now sold by Cleaveland Aircraft Tools) and single flush latch. (ref: Sect 45- 22, 23 & 24 for Vans instructions). Cut out Door to final outline...and pleased formed shape matches Top Cowl very well. Notched out Top Cowl opening to accommodate this Hinge, and eliminated where 2 fasteners would have been in corners. Also cut out for Cowl Pin Covers - using provided aluminum templates. Looking good !
