Gap filling ideas

My thoughts were including - a closer fit at the forward edge of the Cap, vortex generators on the Cab itself, a rubber or vinyl strip in the gap attached to my aerocap, or maybe just nothing (might not be needed, depending on the airflows over this arrea, can be determined when I get to the tuft testing stage.)

Since I work outside on this project and on my electric car, and my work in aerospace has still been quite busy, and other business activities have tied up my time - it is a slow go, yet I still hope to get this project up to the finely finished surface, with fibreglass covering done this year.

I want to do sound (cabin dB) testing cap on - cap off as well since I noticed it is quiter with the cap on!
