Steve, The one that I received was pretty thick. In all fairness I did look yours over at SNF and it seemed only slghtiy heavier than my carbonfiber one. Yours was also slightly stiffer than my one off homemade. The shape and size without measuring looked the same as what I had to start with. I might be so bold as to suggest an extra layer on the sides of the bottom half. That is the only place that I had to add more material to keep it in shape on the plane From: "Steve Glover" <n92...@cox.net>
Hi Joe, I'm surprised it was that heavy. I'll have to weigh the bottom but the top I currently have is only 5lbs.

The cowl was orignally bought from Rand but it weighed 18# before any fitting and changing. I pulled a mold off and sold the cowl and made the one that is on the plane. It is made from carbon fiber and weighed only 6.5# before I started modifiying, It probably weighs about 8# now . The orignal way had an out side scoop for the carb but the aerocarb did not llike it so I changed the bottom to enclose the carb and filter. I have done some testing on the intake holes and think that I canclose them up by several sq. inches on each side with no effect on cooling.

NVAERO said his cowl was like yours. I just received one from another location that has to be a VW cowl and so as William has not responded I am still in need of a Cowl.
