| Subject: | Re: camlocks in a 701 cowl? |
Hi John;
My FWF came from Jabiru USA and it included Camlocks to attach
the upper cowl and nut plates for the lower cowl, I much prefer them to
screws and nut plates for the upper cowl. There are four along each side and
per the drawings four along the rear of the cowl. My advisor suggested that
I add two more to the rear of the cowl, one either side of the plate that
fits around the cabin front braces and on the top skin. It is also easier
to remove the cowl as there are not loose parts. I have not finished my
plane so I cannot give an opinion on wear etc. I have a Piper PA 28 which uses
the same variety of Camlocks and they do not show any particular wear.
Aircraft Spruce has all of the pieces. The receptacles are P/N 212-12N, the
studs are P/N 2600-7 (my cowl is fiberglass and these are correct for it).
The grip length needs to be adjusted depending on the total cowl thickness.
The studs are held in place by an internally toothed washer P/N 2600-LW.
Aircraft Spruce also caries Airlock and Southco both of which will do the job.
Regards, John

I'm trying to decide whether to substitute camlocks, Skybolt equivalents,
or something of that ilk for the screw/washer/nutplate method recommended
by Zenith for attaching the top cowl to the lower cowl (Zenith-provided
fiberglass version). The screw/nutplate method is great in terms of cost,
weight, and pretty much everything else except convenience. I suspect if I had
1/4 turn fasteners, I'd be more apt to pop the top cowl and take a look
around more often.
Anybody try using camlocks? If so, what series and how are you getting
along with it in terms of security and wear?
Thanks...
