Boot Cowl

[David47]

Phil and Jim,

Phil, thanks for the detailed description and excellent photos of what you've done. I really like the idea of having removable boot cowl panels, where it makes sense. In the current 7SS kit, the boot cowl comes as a single piece, seperate from the top and bottom halves of the engine cowl. I think I'll limit it to cutting the boot cowl horizontally and having the lower section removable, as you've done. The top section I'll leave permanently attached so the windshield can be sealed, and go with a hinging instrument panel per Jim's suggestion. But even just having that lower boot cowl section removable must give great access to much of the gear aft of the firewall so I can see why you did it.

Good thinking and thanks to you both.

This is good information, so to ease future searching I moved it to its own thread instead of pulling away from the seat pan discussion.
