Pietenpol-List: Re: easy beaded cowling edge
Original Posted By: "skellytown flyer"
Just finished my cowling (Ford) and when I sat back to admire it, reallyfelt the need for a nice rolled or beaded edge to give the various cutoutsthat nice finished look. Not having the tooling or expertise to do a truerolled edge, I came up with this idea. I'm sure it's not new, but it wasnew to me and I'm really pleased with it.Get some soft 1/4" aluminum tubing from the plumbing dept at your localhardware store. Straighten it really well and put a slice down one sidewith a cutting disc in an angle grinder. Open the slice a bit with ascrewdriver and slide it over your cowling edge andbend/shape/form/straighten until it fits perfectly. Remove, deburr it a bitand inject some epoxy in the slot, reinstall and crimp with a padded channellock or something.Was surprisingly quick, cheap, light and how that it's painted, it is myfavorite part of the whole cowling.Douwe________________________________________________________________________________Subject: Pietenpol-List: Re: easy beaded cowling edge
