The shrouds, top and
bottom, I received with the kit was made on polyester resin (not good) and
covered with primer (gel??) coat (worst). These parts are really very far from
the high quality of all the other parts supplied with the
kit.
I will have to modify the
lower shroud in order to fit the engine, an IO-320 with bottom mounted
injector and also to procedure with some adjustments on the flange to the
firewall. I have two question:
Do I have to take special
procedures to bond with Hysol or epoxy resin on polyester parts?
Removing all that primer coat
represents a lot of sanding ours and a lot of dust. The coat is so deep in the
fiber that I have found two situations: or I do not remove all the coat or I
will damage the fiber. Both alternatives are not acceptable.
Suggestions and ideas, please.
