Hi Ian, The AG5B I recently replaced the PTT has small screws in it.
Not sure about a roll pin.
Grommet: As I recall, without looking at the parts manual, I think I
put the "O" ring on the outside.

Subject: TeamGrumman-List: Canopy latch grommet/ AG5B Control wheel Cap
About to O/H an early AA5 canopy latch assembly and
use the latter NAS1368N-6B Flip over Grommet. Does the AN6227B-7 O-ring
go under
the head of the grommet on the O/S of the canopy or under the flip over
lip on
the inside. I think it should be the former, but not sure.?
Need to remove one of the caps on a AG5B control
column which has the PTT switch mounted in it. Looking at the sides of
the
control column grips it looks like the cap is held in with small roll
pins or
screws. Anyone ever removed one of these caps before.?
Ian

I've got the first production cowling. I'm going to start taking
pictures of it today. The DER will be here Monday for the conformity
inspection. Now it gets fun. The offer still stands. I need to sell
3 more cowlings at $6000/ea. The hinge for the center upper cowling is
$385. Baffles, before they are trimmed to fit, run about $300 (that's
a guess, the first ones will be the hardest.) Painting will run a few
hundred dollars. I recommend the short stack powerflow. I mean, why
cut up the cowling to put the stock exhaust in if you don't have to?

OK - I really want your cowling. If I were in CA this would be a slam dunk.
Is it yet good enough to have another good A&P install?

Sounds to me like you need an excuse for a vacation.
I'll know more about how much expertise it needs to install the cowling
after I have installed a couple. The reality is, based on the
workmanship I see on pretty much every plane I work on for the first
time, I'd say there are very few A&Ps with whom I'd trust the
installation. The primary area of concern for me is the close
tolerances. For example: there is less than 3/16 inch gap between the
prop and the cowling. And, the gap between the metal baffles and the
cowling are different from side to side because the engine moves
asymmetrically in its mount.
Agina, like I said, I'll know more as I build the installation
instructions.
Gary
PS, I weighed the cowling. 17.5 pounds without the hardware.
