 The lower cowl is fitted with special nicopress inserts as the fiberglass is quite thick in this
location. Thus it is necessary to Dremel it thinner. Insert the tool from behind and
attach to the Dremel. Work it backwards from behind the fiberglass to make the wall
thickness thinner. If it stays thick the nicopress will not take up and it will slip.
 It is also necessary to remove any firewall material from behind this fitting as the
nicopress needs to sit square and at 90 degrees otherwise the screw will go in crooked.
 Lastly, install the four nicopress inserts for the lower cowl.
Altering the front of the lower cowl:
 Locate the oil cooler's left edge and extend a line along it on the lower cowl. Extend the
curved edge of the lower cowl to meet the line you've just drawn.
 Cutaway the material, dremel and file for a nice finish.
