Hey guys! New member here. I have purchased an 88 RV4 project. The cowling was not installed when i purchased the 20 year dormant airplane. The pins were nowhere to be found.
I have fitted all new pins, however i'm looking for some guidance on how to terminate / hold the pins in place. My question is in regard to the pins that attach the two cowlings together (the sides) and the pins that attach the top cowl to the firewall (the curved ones).
I have experience working on the Cessna Corvailis (Columbia 400) which uses pins for the sides of the cowl, but the piano hinges on this application started deeper into the cowling inlets and the longer hinge was just allowed to be inside of the cowling.
Some photos or info would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
