X-Mailing-List: lancair.list@olsusa.com Reply-To: lancair.list@olsusa.com Mime-Version: 1.0 <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> << Lancair Builders' Mail List >> <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<--->>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> >> I just put a 320 cowl on my 235. Since the 320 cowl is wider (2") than the 235 cowl and it is difficult to revise the intake end of the cowl the finished cowl is not as aerodynamically smooth as the 235 cowl from a plan view. It looks fine though from a side and front view on the ground. In my case I used some of the greater depth (2") to increase the cowl exit area for better cooling. The cowl has less curve than the 235 but the firewall fasteners pull it snug just fine. There is a lot more room up front for the alternater, starter, and the front valve covers than the original 235 cowl.
