Trimmed the oil door opening leaving 3/8″ surround.  I did not receive an oil door or inlet ramps so I’ll order them.  They are $21 each so I’ll just buy instead of making them.  I’m using the full size stainless hinge and it’s really a bear to slide in through the oil door.  I may look into smaller diameter welding rod.

Back drilled the horizontal hinge using a light in the cowl.  Before I can bond the hinge in place I need to relieve the gap for paint.  You can see how the wider hinge on the bottom sticks up and covers the hinge gap.
