Brakes and Cowl 2

Ed continued working on the brakes.  The two master cylinders were removed and rebuild kits from Matco Mfg were installed.  Ed had to fabricate an assembly jig to help with the installation.

Michael worked on the cowling modifications.  After allowing the glue to setup overnight, the cowl was split and reinstalled on the airframe.  With the aid of a homemade jig and some spacers the foam was sanded down to give the spacing needed making sure the face was parallel to the propeller hub.  Once the spacing was correct.  The shape was filed and sanded.
