Ideas for Cowl Trimming?

[longislandwrx]

Please post your pictures of how you trimmed your cowl (the fiberglass piece that goes over the master cylinders) that the windscreen mounts to.

I'm looking to see how different people trimmed theirs. I've got one shot to make it look good.

thanks in advance

Hey Jeff,
I just have a clearance and inspection hole for now.

53291

I can get the cap off by reaching underneath.
I would have to fill it using a syringe and small tube.
My plan was to go to a remote reservoir, But I've been running like this for 18 months.
Here is a straight on view.

Mitch thats a big help. I saw a few people trimmed the top so it would sit lower but I don't fee that's necessary the way I have it now

Can you tell me why you lowered the front of the dash lower than the FFR cutouts? Is it a better fit that way?

[Mitch Wright]

I just felt it fit better and made for an easier install IMOand it just naturally wanted to be there. It comes out and goes back in easily. I have the bottom lip of the dash bolted (using 10/32 rivnuts and button heads) directly to the 1' cross bar that runs across the interior in stead of using the supplied brackets.

smart, that makes more sense. I have to get the seat in there and see how the cluster lines up with the hole in the steering wheel. I may drop it down too, thanks again!

A profile gauge will make it pretty easy for some weird curves- I went high on the cuts like Mitch to lower everything.
