| Subject: | Nose cone access |
Kolbers, tired of standing on your head to access the back of your
instrument panel, especially if you have a battery mounted in the cone?
This is my solution: Make five fiberglass layups on the inside of the
cone where the cutout will be. Draw the desired cutout on outside of
cone and use a small Drammel tool to carefully cut the desired opening.
Use clear packing tape as a release agent on the inside of the cutout.
Tape the cutout back in the hole on the outside. Make five more
fiberglass layups on the inside. Remove the cutout and trim the five
layers of glass for a flange where all metal floating anchor nuts (
Aircraft Spruce part # MS21059L06) will be riveted to accept and secure
the cutout to the cone with #6-32 counter sunk screws. See pictures for
reference.
Have a good day,
Andy
