I'm posting this for a friend with medical issues. Everyone at the
airport who watched him build this plane speaks highly of his meticulous
work.

Subject: | Engine Cowl Fasteners |
Steve,
I started with camloc's to avoid the problem with hinges breaking on the
bottom. While I was at it, I elected to use camloc's in place of all
the hinges.
.064 was used around the firewall and along the horizontal cowling part
line. I riveted the aluminum to the bottom of the cowl and then glassed
it in from the inside to help relieve some of the expected stress.
All very easy to do.
One word of caution, do not bring the strips so far forward that they
start to bend in, that makes the cowling more difficult to get on and
off.

I've got 70 hours on my 9A and I am convinced the side hinges between
the upper and lower cowl have to go. I'm planning on converting these
over to Camloc 4002 series and wonder what thickness sheet aluminum
should be used to fasten the receptacles to. I realize Aircraft Spruce
offers kits to do this but I rather make it myself. Has anyone done this
and do you recommend .043, .050 or .063?
