Subject: Re: RV10-List: Cowl Hinge Pins
Amen to that Jesse! I had just the hing section for a long long time, and
while it did work, eventually the eyelet widens and the pin can start to
move and then the wear happens faster yet.
I did the JB weld thing for a while to hold it on, and that worked ok for a
while but soon one of them broke free and then I had to re-glue it. Finally
I got ticked off enough that I did it better.
I bought new pins, and a section of stainless hinge, and silver soldered
them together. Yes, Van's does sell a pre-made pin, but by this point I was
irritated and knew I could do a better job if I took the time. Wish I would
have had Van's pins right from the start. Actually, if I could do it all
over again, I'd make mine look like Sean's where the pins get hidden by an
oval shaped RV-10 logo. That to me trims it out perfectly.
