I'm losing my mind here. Someone must have a trick that I don't know about. I'm putting together a GP Cap 580 Chapman, and I'll be damned if I can get the cowl on. I've got a 3w 106 in it, and no matter how I try to get it to fit, it won't go over the plugs and caps with the mufflers on. Putting it on at about a 45deg angle with plugs and caps works fine, but not with the mufflers, and it slides right on without the plugs and caps, but with the mufflers. I'm starting to get frustrated here, I've seen one where the builder split the cowl, that'd be cool, but I'd rather keep it simple.
