I spent most of the day sanding the lower cowl, having promised myself I'd have the whole cowl ready to paint tomorrow. It's not going to happen.
Installing the headphone jacks, I discovered that the jack contacts interfere with the elevator push tube at a point between the seats. I either need to mount the jacks somewhere else or modify the mount to avoid the interference. I cut a new piece of aluminum and drilled it for the jacks.

The new piece will be elevated in place of the current mounting location. I match drilled the new piece to existing mounting holes.
Now for the part you don't see. I made a 3/8 inch thick block of fiberglass cut out in the middle to raise the new mounting piece by that thickness. I slathered glass bead/resin filler around it fill in and cover any imperfections. When it cures, it will get sanding, painting and installation.
