I figured I would start a new thread, on my endeavors to "butcher" my Firebolt nose bowl. Making it work with my constant speed prop.
No way can I add spacers to take the prop forward and I am short of room to bolt on accessories like starter motor and alternator.
I have already laminated in a bump out for the stubby starter and now I need to add a bump out for the alternator pulley

I started today with figuring out where I needed to cut through. As time goes on I will make a shape to bond to the nose bowl, allowing ample room for the alternator.
A couple of photo's so far.
