Started a discussion here about hinge stock sourcing
VAF post
Placing the top cowl, there is a lot of movement with the 090 pins. I wanted something more finite fit for the cowl placement/mating hinge installation. I reduced some stainless steel 1/8 down to 0100 at the insertion end to 0120 at the tail. It holds it very snug.
I’m liking the fit. Any reason not to use the above for flight? Can’t think of one.
Your informed opinions would be appreciated. Thanks.
