 Now redrill the 3mm holes in the lower cowl using a 11.5mm drill bit.
 Chamfer the holes to ensure that the quick release fitting sits nicely.
 Secure the fitting using the spacer and nut. Apply Loctite 243.
Adjusting the bottom cowl for the nose wheel (APPLIES ONLY TO AIRCRAFT WITH A NOSE
WHEEL):
 Mount the cowls and determine where the hole for the nose wheel should approximately
be (see photos below)
 Mark the bottom cowl and, after removing the cowls, cut the nose wheel hole. Make a
rough cut first and then you'll be able to file it down for the perfect fit later.
 Remount the cowls over the engine.
Aligning the cowl and the spinner:
The position of the cowl is important, because if it is off center it will look terrible with the
spinner, and if it is really out of alignment it will hit the spinner!
