Cowl fitting and the inlet ramp
Two questions about fitting the cowl, does the rubber seal of the inlet ramps sits on top of the ramp or just there to close the gap.
If it sits on top of the ramp, which I believe it should, how was the fit of your cowl inlet in relation to the ramp on the pilot side?
I have attached my snorkel to a very nice fit and my initial cowl setup of top and bottom was very good. After fitting the top cowl, per plan, and the bottle cowl the inboard lip of the air inlet is at or slightly above the ramp (only on the inboard side) which means my seal cannot sit on top of the ramp.
I have manipulated the bottom side to come as high as it can and still maintain a good fit. I rather not push the whole thing up as my sides will end up with a larger gap than desired and would not leave room for engine sag.
