Hello Fellow Coupers: As a new owner, I find myself in need of alot of info before my first annual.
One thing I found while working on the cowlings.
The back of the upper cowling support, (The one that the cowling
hinges sets on.), is not attached to the plane.
It appears that the design was for three mounding points for this
support, (Ercoupe reference 18-8, page 24 in parts manuel). One at
the front, one at the middle (attached to the engine mount) and
one at the rear (attached under the gas cap). The parts manuel
shows a rubber bumper under the support, but does not show if
it should be attached to this bumpber.
There is also a hole in the support that matches the screw
in the bumper.
Do I need to attach the support on top of the bumper, (thus the
bumper becomes a spacer) or is the design for the support to be
free at the back?
Also, my coupe does not have any cowling seal between the
metal surfaces. Should there be?
Thanks,
Jack
