DRP: Enter the Cowling
Posted: Mon May 02, 2016 3:39 pm
When I was crashed the cowling was broken, and many of the bits that go with it. Thankfully you can get a lot of this stuff for low prices from EZ Parts, but the cowling itself was an expensive part to buy. Recently on the eBay one showed up for an amount that was affordable.
I'm still waiting on some of the bits, but there's enough old and new to start with the assembly. The windscreen was messed up and needed replacing. They look so nice when they are new.
A quick mock up.
I picked up these nylon screws for the windscreen. They work, but I think I'm going to replace them eventually.
Here's the cowling with part of the support, and the windscreen in place.
And again with the lamps--like before I'm using stainless steel screws. You actually have to put it together in this sequence, or it wont go together.
Thinking about where to mount the EGT gauge. I'm going to have to fashion a bracket for it. Time to visit the plastic store again. ;
As it comes together.
