I am in fact- ruminating about recessing the entire face of the tinnerman. I
guess it's good to know I may be overthinking this one. 
Regards, and 
Good luck with the final stages of your build,
Greg (back on track)

Greg.I believe that conceptually, the tinnerman washer is designed to fit
into a chamfered hole somewhat larger than the diameter of the fastener.this
will automatically bring the perimeter surface of the washer down to the
surface of your cowl.   

I take it that when you use the word, "flush", this is what you mean, given
that the thickness of the tinnerman is so very thin.

If, on the other hand, you're ruminating on whether or not to recess the
entire face of the tinnerman, I'd venture to opine that you may be
"overhanging".

(Whoops.sorry.that was meant to be "overthinking", not "overhanging".)

I have never examined a stock Europa cowl, but I do believe it is solid FG,
not a foam core sandwich.
