On my -8, the upper and lower cowl horizontal seam is held together by the piano wire/hinge fastening system as I expect most RV's are.
Seems to work ok but it's really difficult to know for sure that the pin is actually inside the hinge leaves towards the after end.
Does it weaken the holding power of the system if one were to remove one of the hinge leaves maybe 4 or 5 leaves forward from the back? I could *just* make out the pin entering the leave after the gap and I'd have some confidence the pin is engaged everywhere.
Or is there a better way?
Thanks!
