I moved onto the side mounting. Starting with the LHS, this is the alignment for the piano hinge. I used a single length with a missing eye at the join of the front / rear baffle. It is also slight further down on the 3/8" cowl clearance.
After splitting the lower hinge halves and trimming the baffles the top components were started. The top hinge is obviously a single piece and the remaining time available today was spent on the angle section on the rear edge. The basic plan is to have hinge down the outboard edges going into the centre section for nutplate locations. The fore and aft angle will also have nutplates and a Pro-Seal gasket. The whole structure is becoming very ridged and strong.
Dad finished the little post project, this is in a corner behind the house. Looks really good.
