 Drill all four holes with a 3mm drill and fit with temporary screws.
Mounting the quick connect screws and fittings:
 Remove both cowls and use a 6.2mm drill piece to open up all of the holes in the upper
cowl. Open up the holes in the lower cowl with a 4mm drill bit.
 Now you have to fit each hole in the upper cowl with a quick connect screw (the ones
with the star washer, not the split washer). The quick connect screws around the
fuselage are designed to hold secure, while the ones that hold the two cowls together are
designed to move in out. This makes for easy removal of the cowls.
 To fit the quick connect fittings to the top of the upper cowl you need to support the
fitting in a tube. Place a tube in the vice and insert the head of the quick connect screw,
slide the star washer over the top and gently tap into place with another slotted tube.
This tube will clear the prongs on the quick connect screw. Tap the washer down until
firm, in the end we have secured fittings in the top of the upper cowl
