Special Information for Installing as Cowl Fastener
Install using appropriate adhesive and clecos or other clamps as desired. We
recommend Hysol 9339 or other industrial adhesive with similar peel strengths
over epoxy. Be sure to avoid getting adhesive in the hinge joint
itself. Careful use of acetone can be used to clean up excess.
You should finish with one strong rivet or nut and bolt fastener at
either end of the hinge to minimize risk of peel starting at an end.
The pin should have enough clearance that it will go to place easily with
hand pressure. DO NOT use a drill to drive in the pin. If the friction
generated is sufficient, the hinge and/or its bearing can be damaged. You
should taper the end of the pin to a bull nose so it will track the curves in
the cowling.
If you are unable to fit the pin due to excessive friction, please email or
call. We have undersized pins we can exchange with you in the rare
instance the pin is too tight.
If you have problems or questions feel free to call or e-mail for help.
