I have to rebuild the cowl for my older, short, originally S1C, since I’m adding a starter and the old cowl is too short. I have an angle valve O-290-D2, so the heads are larger than the original parallel valve. I was hoping to use closed cowl doors like the S1T. I contacted Aerographics and they have discontinued the aluminum doors. I called Aviat and they say they only have fiberglass for at least 20 years. This contradicts what I read and heard. They provided me the number for the fiberglass doors, but did not know what the aluminum doors might have been.
Does anybody have the part number for the aluminum S1T doors or does anybody have a set they won’t use? I am hesitant to buy the composite doors because I don’t have faith that the contour will match a modern T. Any other suggestions? I don’t think I have the skill or patience to make my own. If no other option, I will just stick to the open style doors.
Thanks for any help.
