Fred,
I was using the weight on the shipping document to be honest, I haven't
really weighted it until today. While waiting for my wife to give me a
ride to the airport, I weighed my cowl with the very scientific scale
---From Wal-Mart and it is 8 pounds finished painted and with vinyl
graphics.
I have a lot of glass and fixes to this old cowl as it was one that was
improperly cut (I scrounged everything). So probably a normal cowl is
5-6 pounds finished.

Making a car hood to hold shape and the whole cowl only weighing 10

15.)
Bud...are you saying the stock Europa cowl, upper plus lower, weighs
10 to 15 pounds?
Hmmmmm...my upper weighs 5.7#, lower weighs about 13# including inlet
and exit ducts for the twin rads...all filled and sanded, but no
paint...
