P. 23-08 Started creating the hinges for the Lower Cowl. I made real mistakes here using the wrong hinge material (AN257-P2 instead of AN257-P3). Felt dumb to say the least. Don't know what I was thinking but the P2 is narrow and fitting it to the firewall wasn't working well (clue #1), and getting the actual notches to line up correctly so that there was enough material to match drill holes was very problematic (clue #2). I did clamp and match-drill here and the holes were just barely on the hinge material. Called Marty and then figured out that I used the wrong hinge material. Will call Vans and order replacement hinge as well as firewall spacer. Wasted day!
