List,



For those using the Jab USA supplied FWF kit:



Has anybody found the "Camloc Fasteners" (10 - Camloc #26S8-6) to be too long for the cowl?  Just right? or ?



My cowl thickness seems to be around   .150"  which would indicate a 26S8-4 or -5.



I may be measuring incorrectly.....?



Thanks for feedback.

Mike

Cowl thickness can vary a little bit and sometimes a -5 would work better.

Another option is to space the camloc body out away from the cowl with a

small washer or two between camloc body and cowl.

Mike,



I did just what Pete mentioned and spaced the camlock body away from the lower cowl with a piece of .032 aluminum.  It worked great.  Picture attached.

Mike, you might try another fastner, like Skybolt, they are adjustable. Here are a couple of links. The first is how I discovered Skybolt Fastners use on a Sonex cowl. Scroll to the bottom of the page for recommendations. Second link is to Skybolt.
