Default Milspec camlocs

Anyone have any good closeup pics of installations of the cowl kits (or know links to websites with pics?)
I just got my kit - VERY nice stuff - and would like to see pictures of installations / tips / etc.

Pete James (just recently flying) emailed me some pictures a while back of his camloc install. I posted them on my site. Scroll about halfway down this page:

Hope that helps,

Dave-

Thanks for the link!

Any pics of the installation of the grommets in the "outer" cowl section? I'm just wondering how people secure them (aside from the retaining ring). Are people using a strip of Al there?
What about paint? Do you remove the grommets for paint (not sure how easy that would be) or somehow paint around them .... or wait until after paint to install (altho that would be tough as fitting the cowl involves putting them in...?)
