Inlet for L&R Cowl part # 1223

Flyeagles

I'm New Here
I’m trying to find information on installation of Left &Right inlets that are bonded to upper cowl on my RV-8. Pictures, or directions.
Thank you for anyone help.
 
The construction manual leaves a lot to be desired the imagination. For a better understanding, take a look at the attached from the RV-14 instructions.

I'm not sure what the inlet ramps look like on your kit, but here were mine (before I plugged the inboard sides of the ramps, sanded the corner transitions, and various other clean-ups).
