Wanted Round Cowl
I had a little accident, well, a major one, and I am looking for a new cowl without holes if possible. The cowl that I need is round, 6 inches in diameter, with a length of 6 inches, for an AT-6 look alike. The first one got crumpled beyond repair!!!!
Thanks for looking

I looked there, Eric, and the price is almost more than the total aircraft. I was hoping to find one from someone that might have a spare, but will probably order from there in the end. Thanks for the response.

Re: Wanted Round Cowl
Try looking at all of your wife/girlfriends cleaning supplies..
A round bleach or fabric softner plastic bottle sometimes can work awsome as a cowl.. Just a thought

Re: Wanted Round Cowl
My greatest ressource for round cowls were the dollar stores and the nick-knack stores in the pots and pans dept. they are usualoly thin aluminum and all that is required is to remove the handle and with a dremel tool cut off the lip sand and and remove an opening for the prop shaft. Any store for that matter could potentially provide the item that can easily be converted.

As for yours Kent, please send a pix to my email address at CdnFlyer@shaw.ca. You may have a deal, and I will remeasure the 'old' crushed cowl again in a couple of minutes to let you know what I find. I screwed up here are the 'real' dimensions: Diameter at rear - 6-1/2 inches Outside Diameter at front - 6 inches to 6-1/4 depending upon where I measure it Engine opening at front - 4-1/2 Length - 4-1/2 (a new one can be longer and I will trim to fit) I thought about attempting to rework the old one, but would be a major repair with CA, filler, fibreglas cloth and resin. Thank you all for your assistance.
