Rob - I dont have a cowl yet so its just a question of ordering the right
thing first time. The logistics/cost of returning the wrong cowl from the UK
would be a nightmare!
I am certainly going with some form of -320, so its not a width issue,
though I presume VANS 320/360 cowls for a -4 are the same width? Its just
that they say if you decide on an injected 320 you need a 360 LOWER cowl in
order to get the injector body in as well as the 360 FAB which you have to
use because it is shallower (I think). As Randy L said the scoop is larger
and I have to say I am quite concerned about the look of the thing. I guess
I just need to find some 360 -4 to look at.....a bit scarcer here than
there.
Thanks, Steve.
Much as I would like a holy cowl there are two things against it.
a) I have been unable to get any definition of how it would work out with an
MT prop, and b) again the shipping costs make it fearsomly expensive. At
least the VANS cowls are consolidated with the rest of the finisk kit and
FWF bits.
