Hi !
I've posted several pictures of an improved version of
the standard factory 4 door cowl for the Rebel, on an O-235.
They're in Rebel cowling - 209.
Brian Godden did this one for a builder - it's a lot
stiffer, with the square tube frame, and he used 5 CamLock
fasteners per side. For more info, Brian_Godden@hotmail.com
(I think he and Doug are still booking assist time ...)
He asked me to pass the photos along, in the hope they
may make it a bit easier for the next builder. Hope you see
several very useful tricks in these pics. I like the tapered
front scoop ...
One further refinement might be to add a strip of .025
aluminum about 2" wide, running all the way around inside the
rear of the fiberglass nosebowl, 1" under the cowl, 1" extending
out to the rear. Rivet this strip to the nosebowl. The top
cowl can then rest on the rear of the strip (on anti-chafe tape),
giving a flush top. If you do it the factory way, with the
top resting on top of the fiberglass, it will cut into it
over time, and doesn't give a tight seal ... Also, the
strip will stiffen the fiberglass, preventing cracks over time.

Rebel- Pics of improved 4 door cowl
Hi Bob. I must be missing something. If this is a four door, how do the
lower doors open? I do not see any lower hinge lines. Bob J

Hi Bob !
OOOoooooooopppppppsssss !
You're right !! I assumed the hinges were right along the sides
of that tapered channel - but a closer look shows that the cowl appears
to be rivetted to the nose bowl !! :-(
Welllllll, I guess you <could> add hinges at the bottom, along
that channel - and it would definitely be a "Good Thing"(tm) !! :-)
