I received my Sam James extended cowl a couple weeks ago...sometimes called the "Holy Cowl." There is plenty of debate whether this cowl is an improvement over the Van's stock cowl. Debate I'm not going to get into here...up to you which way to go on your plane. We'll see how it works out for me?
Quite honestly though, I went this route mostly because of the appearance. I just think this cowl, with the aluminum inserts, looks much sleeker than the Van's version. It looks like something you would see on a high end Cirrus. Cost is about the same either way.
Its a big shipping box...but as you might guess...very light. Kinda weird to pick up a box this big and have it be so light.
Notice the enforced area around the future oil door
What it will look like on the plane...the fiberglass work looks good, rumor has it that you have less pinholes with the SJ cowl vs. the Van's cowl. Wont know for sure until its painted.
It came with some extra fiberglass material and of course, the aforementioned alum rings
