I'm rapidly approaching the point at which I will be ready to rivet the F-770 and F-772 skins to the firewall. Knowing how the cowl attaches, I thought to myself, "The hinges must get installed at the same time." I found the following quote in the cowl fitting section of the manual:
"Fit and drill the hinge shown in the Cowling Attach Detail of ... DWG 45 (RV-7/9)..., using the holes left open during fuselage construction."
However, I cannot find any direction on which holes to leave open. It must be all of them, right? Otherwise the hinge would sit on top of the shop head inside the cowling. Am I thinking of this correctly?
Thanks!
