My apologies for being so slow in replying to your request for information, since I donated my airplane to the Wisconsin Aviation Academy I have not checked my mail as often as I should.. The markings on the cowl are as I recieved it from Pete krotje of Jabiru USA when I purchased the engine it was a part of the supposed firewall fwd kit, however it was no where close to fitting the 801.

My apologies for being so slow in replying to your request for information, since I donated my airplane to the Wisconsin Aviation Academy I have not checked my mail as often as I should.. The markings on the cowl are as I recieved it from Pete krotje of Jabiru USA when I purchased the engine it was a part of the supposed firewall fwd kit, however it was no where close to fitting the 801. I had to make my own cowl and the story that goes with that is extensive so I will not bore you with the details lets just say it was 14 months of pure frustration. This particular cowl has only been out of the box to show folks what it looks like. It says RV-6 when I got it and it still says RV-6 can't tell you if that is right or wrong. I hope this answers you question. Joe,

<p>Dear AJ, Since the 701 is smaller than the 801 and the 2200 is much smaller than the 5100 the probability goes way up. So that you can do some measurements of your setup here are the written dimensions of the cowl.</p>
<p>Overall length = 24" Overall width = 36" height at the firewall top to bottom = 30 1/2" Spinner area 12"</p>

<p>The reason we had to make our own cowl was due to the size of the 5100 engine, 8 cylinders take up a lot of space and there were no commercial cowls available. To make the cowl was a lot of work as we first had to make what is known as a "plug" which is the shape of the cowl exactly, then over that we had to wax and spray a release agent over the plug, then lay up a fiberglass female mold that would conform to the plug exactly, Then we had to remove the female mold and the plug, From the female mold which was waxed and then sprayed with a release agent again it was nesessary to spray a gel coat finish, then lay up the fiberlass for each half of the mold, when that ws completes the parts were removed from the female mold and put together with trimming as necessaary, then it needed to be marked and the holes cut for the required openings in their exact location and the two halves fit to the fuselage, finally the fasteners had to be installed in the cowl and the firewall to attach it to the airframe. As you can see a lot of work so if you can make an existing cowl work you will save yourself a lot of time and work,</p> Hello Philip, I wanted a cowl…tag:zenith.aero,2011-05-08:2606393:Comment:1207562011-05-08T15:46:58.080ZAjay Singh Shivranhttps://zenith.aero/profile/AjaySinghShivran

<p>Is the cowl a genuine RV6 cowl or a copy? The RV cowls I have seen do not have gel coat, you can see the honry comb in the glass. Was it supposed to fit the firewall of your Zenith. Could you give me the measuments across the back and the up and down measurment. Also the measurement of the area for the spinner. I am putting a lycoming 0235 on a Zodiac CH 601 HDS and like the looks of the RV cowl.</p>

<p>Thanks Dave New</p>
