I finally decided that I had to trim the rear edge of the lower cowl. Not a huge job, but I've been waiting for as long as possible. Also spent some time looking back at the exhaust layout / alignment - more options now.
Then moving onto to the lower edge of the cowl - one piece of feedback I've had is the edge can benefit from some strengthening. This is a strip of .032 that I've formed around the edge - the fibreglass needed quite a bit of rebating.
Rather than the standard piano hinge on the lower edge we are planning on using screws, as the link between the fuselage and nutplates I fabricated some .063 straps.
