heres a pic hope its what you are looking for. the break is so you can install the pins through the oil door. hinge on oildoor side is about a ft. long the other is like 3-4 ft long
happy building

I figured there was a gap in the hinges, but looks like something goes in their to capture the pin and or make it easy to get to them to pull them with the cowl on????
we don't have anything in that space and nothing on our drawings. are you building a 7 or a 12? the pins go in pretty tight and I don't think a clip is needed. someone will probably tell me I'm wrong though

Here is the bottom of the little panel that is held on by two number 8 flathead screws. There is an L bend in the end of the hinge pins and you can see that the little panel captures the L to secure the pins. You don't access the pins thru the oil door on the 12.
I am building a 7 and saw that and was looking for ideas on how to secure the pins on mine. I use full size rods on mine and they are hard to impossible to get in and out thru the oil door so I am looking for options.
I fussed with hinge pin for a while and decided I didn't want to have that system to deal with every time I changed the oil. I drilled out the rivets and installed camlock fasteners three inches apart in the cowl. It is not as expensive as Skybolt fasteners and I think will work ok.
