Today I started the initial fitting of my cowl side firewall hinges. I'd like to install this portion of the hinge while my engine mount is not yet installed.
My plan was to slide the hinges slightly forward to hide the hinges. I put in about 3/32" of offset clamped the hinge in place and then marked a couple of rivets through the firewall rivet holes. The result doesn't really provide the edge distance that I would like to see.
The next step is to find wider hinges at least for the firewall side. But... I'm not sure what an equivalent wider hinge is that has a 1/8" (actually 0.120" I think) hinge pin.
Anyone have any suggestions on the hinge or alternative approach.
