Just to followup on this matter, I found a fiberglass "expert" at a boatyard
who offered to do the job for $250-300. One of my partners in the airplane
thought that was too high, and decided to do it himself. He'd taken a
composites course at Oshkosh a few years ago and was keen to try out his
skills. He did what appears to be a great job, and it's done. We'll see
how well it lasts. These were not structural problems, mostly cosmetic.
The A&P is happy with the results.

Since he's the partner who landed on the runway that was 18" too short and
put the spinner and prop into the chain link fence, (probably causing some
of the problems with the cowl) perhaps it's just karma returning. At any
rate, job done, very low cost, and looks very good.
