 |

Some follow up. Thank to Greg's post I completely eliminated the cowl
rattle during idle and taxi. Removing the per plans .090, I replaced them
with SS .120 pins that I tapered to .090 for the first 8" or so. This
allowed the pins to make the radius bend on the cowl sides but fully lock up
the top cowl hinge area.
I found out tapering these stainless steel pins was not simple. After some
trial and error I ended up putting the .120 pins in a drill press. With the
drill press on low speed, I used a die grinder with a rotary metal file
attachment to work the pin down. This was followed by some hand sanding -
the pin still rotating by the drill press. Start with a pin longer than you
need as you will cut off the end of the pin that was in the drill chuck.
Some oil to lubricate the pin on first install and all is well.
Carl

I'll second that procedure as I too have done this per Greg's post, it is a
bit of work no doubt.
