Oil Door and Coil Plate

Hours Worked = 3.5

I started working on the oil door today. I’m using a set of steel hidden hinges from McMaster Carr instead of the normal piano hinge. The only benefit to this is a smooth cowl when the door is closed.

I also finished building the LSE coil plate. The plate is just a piece of .063 aluminum with 6 pieces of angle aluminum riveted to it. This was the most compact and clean way I could think of to mount the coils. The plate is held to the engine mount with three adel clamps, so it should be quite secure.
