Preceding thread is timely.
Many have experienced cracked eyelets with the rolled hinge sections. I’m playing with some extruded sections. It’s easy enough to get the halves to conform to the firewall shape.
Potential problem: What I’m feeling, = the extruded eyelets are much stiffer than the rolled ones for obvious reasons. Getting the hinge pin to thread through the shaped hinge halves (top along firewall) is noticeably harder to the point that I worry about getting them inserted with the cowl installed.
Please share your experience and remedies here if you would please.
Much thanks
