Thank you in advance to anyone who takes the time to reply here
after much research on the cowl install i dove in. filtering through all the recommended measurements for simulated spacers, the inconsistency between VANs manual and the FAQ on their site i determined I'm going with 2-1/8 spacer and 1/4" spacing between cowl and flange on spinner backplate.
Today i got to it, and with the ring gear on, the spacers in and backplate mounted the cowl just makes it to 1/4" space to spinner flange. there is literally nothing to cut off the aft side. This caused me to be concerned I have already gone wrong?
has anyone found the latest cowls require no aft side trimming. im only referring to the top cowl so far I have not fit the bottom yet
im using the Hartzel 2 blade BA constant Speed.
