I've seen plenty of photos where the cowl is off, but hardly any closeups with the top/bottom cowl halves in place.

It took about 1.5 hours to complete both including sucking / flushing out thread debris. Some rather interesting (clever) tools were required for the install that I'd not seen before. Good learning experience.

I bought 600-6s prior to looking at the tires to be removed. Did not notice any handling difference. ________________________________ Message 4 _____________________________________ Time: 04:18:18 PM PST US From: Deems Davis Subject: RV10-List: Door seal info It was great seeing everyone @ OSH this year, and a special thanks to Gary,Bob and all who set up RV10 HQ and organized the dinners. Judy and I returned yesterday after continuing on to Long Island NY from OSH. Several people inquired about the door seals on N519PJ. 1st I should acknowledge Sheril Hilton and Robin Marks for their innovation on this idea, and Ed Hayden for kicking me in the pants to 'quit thinking about it and just Do It!' I'm very happy with the results. The door seal material is available from McMaster Carr McMaster Carr p/n 1120A311 http://www.mcmaster.com/#1120a311/=3390lx I bought a 100ft roll and sold 30 ft to another -10 builder. I've got enough left over to do 2 more doors. I cut up an initial 12 ft section into pieces of various size/lengths to use during the trial and error process of removing the cabin cover 'curved edge' fiberglass to provide the right clearance between the cabin cover and the closed door. Like Ed H. I found that it was necessary to glue the seal on, and after experimenting with several 'contact like cements' I ended up using Pro Seal, which works great. If you scan down this page http://deemsrv10.com/Homelogindex.html you will find several entries which describe the process I used to close out the door hinges to complete the seal. I helped another -10 builder here in AZ to do the same.
