Re: [ercoupe-tech] door(s) for nose cowling

[Syd Cohen]

Frank, I like the fact that I don't have an access door to check the 
oil.  By opening up the whole side cowl, I can see all the other 
important things around the engine, like wiring, cables, fuel lines and 
hoses, and every time I check my oil I glance at all of those things, 
plus I look for puddles at the bottom of the engine compartment.  As for 
draining the oil, you can fish a clear plastic tube up through the 
opening in the bottom cowl that the nose gear strut goes through and 
connect it to the drain on the bottom of the oil tank, and run the other 
end into a gallon container.  Works great.
