I'm ready to start my FWF install and have 2 question.
1) When did you install the hinges? I've fitted them to the FW flange, drilled and countersunk. It will be easier to squeeze the few rivets where the engine mount attaches to the FW now. It's pretty tight with the mount installed.
2) Section 12 says to shim as necessary. I have the gray colored cowling if that makes a difference. Do you just measure the cowl and FW flange to determine if you need a shim or do you wait until you've cut the cowling to fit and then add a shim (as necessary) and hinges?
Thanks
