When i mount my upper and lower cowls, there is only about a half inch overlap of the two skins at the firewall. That makes it impossible to run a scribe line LEVEL to the nose air inlets. I am ASSUMING that this line is supposed to be level, but perhaps I am wrong? The only possible line is a good bubble off of level.
At any rate, I have seen photos of others and they seem to have far more overlap than I do.....like Don Jones photos of his SkyBolt installation and the SkyBolt illustrations as well.
This issue also forces me to alter my SkyBolt spacing considerably. I have to adjust the spacing quite different from the illustrations so as to match at the scribe line, but i can still keep the bolts spaced within the 3.5 inch suggested limit. Jeez I hope that I am not screwing this up.
Anybody else seen this problem?
