It has an O320E3D engine installed in it. The finish kit has one aluminium hinge 6ft long for joining the two cowl halves together, fairly easy to identify. However, the Vans contents lists says there is also 9 ft of 1/8 piano hinge. Exactly what dimension does the 1/8 refer to? Is it supposed to be the width of the hinge, the thickness of the hinge, or the diameter of the pins?(1/8 does not fit any of these measurements). I received not one nine foot length, but a six foot length and a three foot length. I also received thee other three foot lengths of piano hinge which are of a lighter gauge, (two are 1/16 inch thick, the third piece slightly thicker) but are not as wide as the six foot and three foot larger ones. Does anyone know where each bit resides? I emailed Vans with this question, but after 5 days have received no reply, perhaps they are busy getting ready for sun'n'fun.
