Im' making my own oil access door because the one supplied by RANS is a flat piece of aluminum that is suppose to close against a curved cowl. Hmm??

I drew the size of the access door on the cowl and then covered it with clear packing tape.

Next I laid up three layers of 8oz. cloth followed by one layer of 3/4oz. The 3/4oz. cloth is just to give the outside of the door a smooth surface.

Once this is dry, I will peel it off, cut out the door, then trace it on the cowl for the opening.
