I still had a few things to do on the engine cowlings.
\nFirst, the oil service door had to be primed and riveted.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I removed the alu parts, and prepared them for primer. Also prepared the lower cowl baffle support strips.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Added a quich shot of primer…
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

After the primer had cured, I glued and riveted the door hinge.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Also glued and riveted the hinge on the door, and rivet the latches.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Next I fitted the parking brake cable.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Then the cabin heat cable.
\nI added a hole and grommet in the subpanel after the trial fit, as you can see.
\nThe cable will go through that on final installation.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I installed the engine breather line and hose.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Also installed the lower cowl baffles. I used flush screws and nuts for them.
\n\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Finally I added another layer of fiber on the back of the propeller opening radius.
\nThis will close the tooling holes, and reinforce the radius.
