This is only a small issue but I was wondering if others have noticed this.
The cowl moulding I received doesn't match the plans such that trimming as per plans wouldn't leave a 'step' for the top cowl to fit in, but a flat spot that would make the top cowl over lap rather than fit flush.
In the image below I have marked where the plans say to trim. It looks like the step around the front should go all the way to the trim line but it doesn't appear to on mine.
Is this normal?
I have a couple of options here I guess. Trim it further to remove the non-step part or to fibreglass on the inside and sand the step all the way to the scribe line.
