| The first few hours were spent continuing the oil cover. I made 3 shims - a .020 for the flap it self and .032 & .040 for the cowl side. This brings the top of the hinge flush with the cowl surface. Note: I think the new cowls don't match the drawings, the cowl seems to be significantly thinner than the drawings expect. | 
|
| Then it was back to the exhuast mounts. More frustration but this is the best I can currently come up with. Multiple angles to try and help anybody else in the future. | 
|
| The sump mounts use different locations, the LHS is further aft, the RHS is the foremost sump nut. This provide two reasonably striaght lines for the vertical supports | 
|
| The span support goes through the 'A' gear weldment and just infront of the engine mount bolts. I'll confirm this is a suitable solution once I get the engine back on the fuselage and present up the lower cowl. | 
|
| Also managed to do some research / ordering for some West Epoxy products for the fibreglass work that is coming. Got a 'starter pack' and should be here next week. | |
