Default Need a box shaped nosebowl

I agree with this idea..



Howdy,
Where would I find these "blister fairings"??

Although I have a feeling the interference is too significant to cure
with those. Just giving it the eyeball test both lower left and right
sides would have to be cut from the nosebowl and somehow a boxier
shape created. I have never worked with fiberglass so really don't
want to undertake that unless absoluely necessary. Thre must be some
boxy type nosebowls out there...although I've been searching and
haven't found one so far. Thanks


Well, the front part of the blister might be from a 2 or 3 liter Coke bottle.
I use Dr. Pepper bottles myself. The after part can be anything that makes
the shape you want. Wood, metal, plastic, bondo, plaster of paris, etc.

What's I'm recommending here is a male mold that the parts can be made on.
