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 N687AS Nose cone access 2 Nose cone access1 Nose cone access3 Nose cone access4 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Other Matronics Email List Services ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Post A New Message kolb-list@matronics.com UN/SUBSCRIBE http://www.matronics.com/subscription List FAQ http://www.matronics.com/FAQ/Kolb-List.htm Web Forum Interface To Lists http://forums.matronics.com Matronics List Wiki http://wiki.matronics.com Full Archive Search Engine http://www.matronics.com/search 7-Day List Browse http://www.matronics.com/browse/kolb-list Browse Digests http://www.matronics.com/digest/kolb-list Browse Other Lists http://www.matronics.com/browse Live Online Chat! http://www.matronics.com/chat Archive Downloading http://www.matronics.com/archives Photo Share http://www.matronics.com/photoshare Other Email Lists http://www.matronics.com/emaillists Contributions http://www.matronics.com/contribution ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- These Email List Services are sponsored solely by Matronics and through the generous Contributions of its members.
