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. 2006 Aerosport O-320, 55 hrs.

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'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?
