As I recal, the plans called for not riveting the center 8-10 rivets at the above described location. The center hole is reserved for the bracket which helps support the cowling, but why did they leave the other holes not rivetted?



The nose gear, main gear and engine are coming off so I can remove the fuse from my basement, and these rivets can only be placed with the nose gear off, so is now the time to set these rivets? 

Thanks,

John

John,



I cannot think of any reason not to do those rivets now, if you are going to have to remove the engine and nose gear anyway. I wound up using Cherrymax rivets there because I was not willing to pull the engine for 8-10 rivets.

Go for it now. Also as I recall there were some prior posts about the cowling bracket being too weak (and breaking) so I fabricated a stronger one that I secure with a pop rivet - not the best solution. I would suggest a nut plate to secure the cowling bracket. Lots stronger - super secure - and easily removable. I see no reason not to button those holes up now.
