	Installation instructions call for a screw and a nutplate on the leading edge of the top cowl because the standard camlock receptacle sticks out too far into the cooling air stream, but with Gary’s permissions I installed a camlock. I did find a guy in Belgium who offered to sell me 2 low profile camlock receptacles for $25 each, but I figured that’s too much, and made a couple of my own receptacles which work well with the shortest camlock I could find.<br />		Installation instructions call for a screw and a nutplate on the leading edge of the top cowl because the standard camlock receptacle sticks out too far into the cooling air stream, but with Gary’s permissions I installed a camlock.

Cutting a hole for Landing Light

	Another item not covered in the install instructions. Gary provided the line to cut but in e-mails he first said that the line on my cowl is off by 1/4", then he said it wasn't my cowl, but another guys cowl, and mine has the line in the right place. Just to be safe I left a 1/2 inch safety margin and cut a much smaller hole at first. Then I put the cowl on the plane and tried to find the best fit. Gary mentioned that there is very little space between the light and the starter, but I got a Sky-Tec starter and there was enough space between starter, but very little space between the PowerFlow 4 to 1 collector, so I had to move the light housing forward a little from Gary's line. I hope I can still aim the light somewhere in the vicinity of runway! Then I cut a couple of 1/8 holes and clecoed the housing to the cowl, removed the light, drew the outline of the housing on the cowl from inside the housing and cut along the line. My hole ended up pretty close to Gary's line, but it is a bit wider and a bit shorter.<br />		Another item not covered in the install instructions.
