OEM 201 cowl on F

[Browncbr1]

I'm looking to speak with someone who has experience fitting an OEM 201 J cowl on an F model.

Or, fitting an OEM 201 J cowl on a C model.   Anyone out there?

See if John Breda installed on his F. That is his user name. I think he went with the J cowl on his heavily modded F. You would never know it was an F unless you saw the Johnson bar.

I don't have any experiencing fitting one, but my plane does have a 201 cowl.  Let me know if I can be of any help.

I have gathered up most all the parts to do this but have not started it.  It involves swapping the cowl, spinner, baffling, and air induction. You will also have to swap the engine mount or have the cowl flap mount hing mechanism welded to yours. Then the cowl flanges and side skins will have to be un-riveted and trimmed back. Once this is done strips of aluminum are slid between the side skin and firewall and rivited back together. The cowl then mounts to these strips of aluminum.

that's good to hear.  Have you gotten your hands on a cowl, too?

I know of a good cowl nearby for cheap, but I haven't bought it because I learned of all the firewall modifications that would be needed.  My local fairy doesn't have experience with this particular project either, so thought I would pass.  Maybe someone will give up their ARI or SWTA cowl to me if they buy Sabermachs new cowl.   I prefer less fabrication from scrap materials ..  I dunno
