Boot Cowl Help Needed

[Utah-Jay]

I am in a the final stages of the boot cowl and have some questions you guys hopefully can answer:


1) The side extension in the photo below, does that go under the door former? I have it clamped on the outside in the photo. I assume it goes under the side cowl in the forward part as it is in the photo.


2) The bottom extension obviously needs to be relieved for the struts which will be a big job I am guessing. In the photo below, does the aft portion of the bottom extension attach at the two red circles and terminate at those tabs?

Any guidance you can give or point me towards to finish up the boot cowl would be much appreciated.

Yes terminates ar tab. Somewhere on this site I have
Posted a detailed drawing of the required shock strut clearance holes. Otherwise send me a PM.

I attached the aluminum side panel to the outside. Trimmed the edge just below the corner so legs wouldn’t rub on it.

the belly panel indeed terminates there.

there are a few forum entries on clearance for the shock struts, a little google searching should yield results. https://bearhawkforums.com/forum/bea...learance-holes

Short answers, yes and yes. I am traveling but when I get back later today I will send a few photos. The boot cowl apparently can be built in a few different ways. I’ll show you what I did
