Question for the builders/maintainers,
The left side cowling hinge on my RV6A has somehow become all out of whack and is impossible to replace the pin without 2 people and takes a lot of manipulation to get it in place. I can easily run the pin through both the lower and upper half by themselves, but when together it is nearly impossible.
Is there a way or trick to realign the eyes of the hinge or should I just replace it? I tried sliding the pin in and tweaking each eyelet and it hung up but that just doesn't seem to be working. Should I replace with quarter turn fasteners? Trying for minimal down time.
Thanks,
Mike
