I figure I can always add a strip of aluminum tape to the cowl if
needed.  With my engine in place I think it will be difficult to add the
glass with the upper cowl in place.  I have a 1" strip of aluminum stock
that is the same thickness as the cowl and I plan on using that to get
the correct slot thickness.
