Cowling hinges

Well Known Member
Can anyone tell me if they are included in the fuselage kit or the finish kit please? I can only find a bit of normal MS20257 as used for the seat back hinges in my fuselage kit. Is it the same or does the finish kit come with the 1/8” hinges as mentioned in the plans?

Thanks

Rob

Finish kit along with the cowling.
 
The cowling hinges comprise of stainless and aluminum hinges. The hinge pins are larger than the aluminum hinge pins you used on the seat and flaps.
 
Thanks. So where the build manual says "don't forget to rivet the cowling hinges in conjunction with the firewall and the fuselage side skin they are assuming that you bought both kits at the same time... Ahhh!
