Would like some feedback on the best screw to use to attach the front half of the wheelpants to the rear half of the wheelpants. I've been thinking about using countersunk screws here, although they might look funny since they will be installed on an outside curve surface. The other alternative is a round head screw with a plastic washer. Or the countersunk screw with a home made small size Tinnerman washer (use a light stainless washer and dimple with a #6 screw dimpler). Would like something that looks good and also holds up to numerous remove/reinstall cycles during the life of the airplane, and also keeps the paint looking as good as possible. Thanks
