--> Zenith-List message posted by: "Phil Maxson" <pmaxpmax@hotmail.com>
I am preparing to follow the advice of several listers and install the skin
over the instruments with Rivnuts, the question is: which ones? I know I
have the option for 6-32, 8-32, and 10-32, also keyed or keyless.
Which size are people using?
Is a key really necessary?
Thanks,
Phil Maxson

I have used hundreds of rivnuts in places where I do not want to drill out
rivets for inspections. I used the steel 8/32" ones. You can get them at AS&S
or any NAPA store. The trick is to bore the .250" hole for them as perfect as
possible. That gives the maximun clamping area to the shoulder of the nuts to
grip too. I have not had even one attempt to come loose on me so I am a happy
user of them.

| Subject: | 701 cowl question |
--> Zenith-List message posted by: mike sinclair <mike.sinclair@att.net>
Does anyone happen to know off-hand what type of glass and how may plies
are typical for a layup on a 701 cowl? I measured a stock Zenith cowl
and got a thickness of around .075 including fibreglass and gelcoat. It
looks to me like it may be the cheaper E glass. I am thinking about
using a 5 ply lay-up of the stronger S glass. Currently building a plug
around the engine (sealed in plastic and duct tape & mounted on the
firewall) so that I can pull a mold. Already looking like it should be a
lot cleaner than the boxy factory produced cowl (& the workmanship will
most definitely be better). I did check with SkyShop and their new cowl
design will not be out until around Sept.. Any thoughts?

My hats off to ya. Building a good plug is a LOT of work. I just bought a
Skyshop cowling last week for my 801. I will look close at it tomorrow and
post the details of the lay up.
