Boot Cowl

I have two desired outcomes with the boot cowl.

1).  To have access to the back of the instrument panel from the inside top, after the windscreen is installed.  This will also allow the hinged panel to tilt rearward for greater access.

2).  To have access at the sides of the boot cowl for access to rudder pedals, fuel lines, brake lines, etc.

An outline of the windscreen location provides the basis for the top access panel.  Very nice mock up of the final version.

Lower Boot Cowl split to create an access panel.  Installed a backing strip that I riveted to the top inside portion of the boot cowl, with nut plates on the bottom.
