Hi all,
I finally have the 8 back in the air after a year and a half break. I’m working a few squawks and one of them is the cowl hinge pins. This airplane first flew in ‘98 so I’m certain quite a few things have changed, these pins have handles in the Flight deck and go forward through the front baggage compartment into the cowl side hinges and are very long. They have suffered over the years and I’d like to replace. It looks like Vans has a newer style, but I’m looking for any thoughts including the Skybolt system or whatever you have found to work.
