Here are three pictures showing stages of cowl construction for my KR-2. The first picture shows removing the peal ply prior to sanding the edges after adding one BID to the inside of the top and bottom cowl to stiffen the pieces. Second picture shows the blue marking for the future holes for screw fasteners. Third picture shows the top and bottom cowl held together with clamps, duct tape, cleco's, ratchet straps and DNA samples. Alignment duplicates the 3/32-inch saw kerf gap between the top and bottom cowl so that the end product will still fit on the firewall. Six BID on the bottom cowl edge will create a joggle for mounting hardware.
