Also rotate that front clamp on the muff to prevent it from hitting the lower cowl support channel. It could tap the channel making you think that there is something seriously wrong with the engine.

How do you lower the bottom cowl without changing the nose bowl?
When I made my lower cowl I used mikes advice, and when it’s flat, extend the distance between cowl attachment holes if that makes sense. Drops the air filter scoop down. Most stock cubs the cowl is touching the air box, on round filter cubs

Exactly. My nose bowl is lower below the prop opening than most. That provided clearance for my Vetterman mufflers. The dual scoops in my picture went unused so they morphed into a full width cooling lip instead. My muffler clearance is close to the cowl but so far so good. The only nuisance is reaching the quick drain in between two hot mufflers to drain oil. I can live with that. Scoops should work fine.
What suspension will you use? Beware. Your exhaust will dump right onto your TKs or ACMEs. It's a recurring maintenance issue to remove exhaust residue.
So you mean a little more distance between mounting to the lower support rail on the aft end only, giving a bit more bow to the lower cowl?

I realize that your still in progress. Don't forget to install a support hanger for each tail pipe back to the engine to support the tail pipe from banging on the lower cowl.
The entire project looks great, but I'm super happy to see your new harness. Good man.

I really the look of those seats. Would be perfect in my plane...
Keep up the good work. Gonna be a very nice Cub for sure.
but the veterman (clamp)kit supposed to clamp to 'engine mount'..... better to make a brace off engine it self, less vibration....
Make certain that when you finish that there is NOT a solid connection between the exhaust pipe and the engine mount. If it is solid it WILL break in less time than you can imagine..... to the exhaust and then to the engine mount in a V. They are not a solid brace they have a rubber hose in the middle
Next is the Oil cooler Not sure if I want it on the Baffling or mounted to the Firewall with a duct from the baffling
Any suggestions pro's and con's
