I was wondering if anyone had made their own alloy cowlings and would be prepared to pass on any tips with regards to sheet material and thickness plus fasteners and fixtures.
I can wheel panels but have never done aero cowlings before. Homebuilt, UK on a LAA certificate. No alloy welding experience, as yet. Here are a cowling nose piece in 2024 and a car panel in generic annealed alloy.
