I elected to do my cowl after installing the engine and mounting the spinner back plate. I'm currently in the process of fitting the lower cowl.
Looking ahead to fitting the upper cowl, I can't quite figure out how one goes about drilling the upper half of the side hinges with the engine in place. Without the engine, it would be easy to reach through the nose of the cowl to hold the hinge in place while match drilling through the upper cowl & hinge.
For those of you that installed the cowl after installing the engine, how did you go about drilling the upper half of the side hinges?
