I'm finally going to start work on this cowl from 2010. The first step is apparently to get the front and back to mate and form a 13" circle. The manual provides some high level guidance - basically trim it till it works.
This is how it looks to start (left side):
The right side is similar, but the outboard edges are reversed:
I put a straightedge across the lower cowl molded lip (on the inboard sections, where the upper cowl is supposed to sit) and you can see that there is a lot of extra material above line where top and bottom cowl should meet.
So I have to cut this much off the bottom cowl, on both the outboard fronts and sides? It seems like a lot, but I think that is why the cowl won't nest together in the front.
Am I even close to the right path?
