Thanks Rene'



I saw the note about the pins in the plans but it wasn't clear that they 

included the 'knuckle'.  Should have know that whenever something is 

boldfaced in the directions, it deserves extra attention and investigation.



Order going in now.

Hey Bill,



There are several creative and beautiful mods out there for this.  Here's a couple of pictures of what I did that was simple, cheap, time consuming!

With a white painted screw that is countersunk, it almost disappears. 



Later,  - Lew

Very nice Lew.



I've decided the cowling is not a place for me to express myself.  I 

have to confess to not being able to grok the whole cowling hinge pin 

operation until I finally started doing 47-7 step 6.  After reading it 

and re-reading it, I self diagnosed  brain constipation and soldiered on 

until finally reaching 47-7 step 6.  What a relief.



I'm hitting the order button for the Vans part as I write.



Thanks
