J'ai installé et réglé toutes les fixations quart de tour sur les deux demi-capots. Ce n'est pas très compliqué, mais demande plusieurs montage et démontage des deux capots.
Cela m'a permis de voir qu'il faudra sans doute modifier légèrement la position de échappement, notamment du coté gauche.




Voici ce que cela donne sur le dessus.

D'après mes prédécesseurs, les capots souffrent un peu de la chaleur autour du pot d'échappement. Pour tenter de les protéger je recouvre le capot inférieur d'une feuille d'aluminium adhésive.
Etant donnée la forme complexe, ce n'est pas vraiment facile.I cover the lower cowl with an adhesive heatshield as the heat of the exhaust can melt this part.
The complex curves make the task quite difficult.

To hold down the side hinge pins there are a few documented methods. I tried to use some circular insert where the lower screw would hold the pin and the upper screw would hold the insert to the upper cowl. But it proved difficult to get right. The picture shows that.



I decided to use a small stainless steel strip to screw down the hinge pin end.



The hole in the cowl gets covered by an aluminium part thet is much easier to install being greater than the opening.



This is the second, it looks quite good. Only thing left is to find a nice finisn , maybe get it engraved.



And here I'm with my Dad, this week' helper, and we are quite happy with was we managed to perform.

To change a bit, we install the two cowl halves and fabricate the two side hinge pins. We also try to see how to make the hinge hiding device as naice as possible. There is still some work there.

After some sanding and very small filling, both haf-cowls got a final primer coat. The result is decent but there will be some work before final paint.
