Camloc backing strips
I worked some more on the camloc backing strips. It’s really not obvious how to install these. I initially cut them too short. Luckily I had some extra material. I clamped the strips right where I wanted them and started drilling down from the middle.
I also drilled out the hinges I previously installed along the bottom and cut and drilled strips for that area. I’m going to keep the hinges on the sides.
Then it was time to enlarge the holes in the backing strips with a Unibit. This step makes a huge mess.
I countersunk the bottom strips, clecoed them in place and enlarged the holes in the cowl. I installed the collars and camlocs into the cowl and then test fit it. Looks good.
Long day, but very productive.
