3. Mark where the cowl mounting ring and gussets touch

the engine box and remove the covering before applying

epoxy. The picture below shows where the gusset attaches

to the cowl mounting ring and engine box.

4. Mix 30-minute epoxy and apply glue to the gussets

and cowl mount ring, also rub some epoxy in the slots

where the gusset tabs interlock, then glue the mounts in

place. Attach bottom cowl and wait until epoxy is set before

removing the cowl. This ensures the cowl mount ring and

gussets are glued and aligned properly. Clean excess epoxy

with alcohol swabs.

5. Mount the lower half cowl.

6. Mount the upper half cowl. At the mid-point that both

lower and upper half meet, use colored washers and 1/4 inch

4-40 screws.
