Nose bowl and cowl

Post by mrpibb »

After Stripping the several (4) previous paint jobs off the airplane, it appears that the cowl is kinda in rough shape. We want to take a shot bag and hammer to it but we are unsure of the material that Cessna made the cowls out of, we would like to anneal the reworked areas, but cannot do so if we cant identify the material. Sooo... anybody know???

I believe it's 1100 for the nose-bowls and 2024 for the flat sheets.
