Re: Oil dipstick door installation on Lightning cowls

      Hi Clive, Steve,
      
      Just so I don't lead anyone up the garden path I thought I'd confess that, after
      reading Steve's, post I'm part way through implementing a similar solution to
      his. (Thanks Steve).
      
      My cowl has also warped around the oil door cutout, particularly along the outboard
      edge and, as you say, will probably get worse over time so the metal reinforcement
      seems the way to go.  That will probably print through over time but
      that seems the lesser of two evils.
      
      I had a chat to my fibreglass guru and his advice is to drill holes through the
      hinge and cowl and bond it on with epoxy and floc so that an epoxy "rivet" is
      formed to help key the metal to the glass.  A layer of glass over the top as
      per Steve will complete the job.
      
      --------
      Cheers,  Selwyn
