Thank you all for the wonderful news about fiberglassing. Now I have another issue with the cowl. Can anyone tell me where to find the fuel door and oil door? The plans don't even give any dimensions or product numbers. Thanks in advance

Thanks everyone for the Info. I believe I can do what you all said. Bryan I actually did get the pictures all together at the end of the posting. The pictures actually answered another question on the cover for the fuel fill. Thank You

Nick,
I have an Aerovee so the oil fill is probably different. I just took my best guess and holesawed above the filler, then added a cover.
