That Darn Nose Bowl

Drilled hole through the dash to insert the crank. The screw holding the wooden bulb is not "aircraft quality" nor the right length, but the correct screw is in the mail. The past owner had noticed that the Nose Bowl was too small and had fastened on 1" chunks of urethane underneath to boost the height. The foam had been broken off. I took a dremel wire brush and cleaned it off, then applied 2 layers BID to the inside of the NB. The foam will be attached next, then the part will be installed. Last, I poured expanding foam into the nose section to fill the voids between the foam and the Strut Cover. Now I know why they call it expanding foam, it does just as the name suggests.
