This cowling fits into the upper, larger cut out square.
Notice the tab is deep, much thicker than the tube wall.
I don't know why it isn't used, the thick tab might hang up a parachute shroud line or shock cord.
The lock piece is tapered so it wedge fits and holds the cowling on tight.
I decided to use it for a stronger hold.
This is a dry fit of the U lock over the inside of the cowling tab.
Even a dry fit (no glue) was very tight and difficult to remove!
I did finally get the two pieces free and both were glued and wedge fit together.
The supplied shock cord was too short so I substituted a much longer piece of elastic.
The elastic shock cord is double knotted and slipped through the cowling slot.
Don't leave much of a "tail" on the shock cord, it could overhang the cowling edge.
