Is there any provision on the back of the cover plate for securing the hinge pin?
How about no hinge pin cover and use the hidden hing pin method so no plate/cover is needed? Pin come into the cockpit and are fed to the cowl hinges through brake tubing. Very easy to do and looks great.
Check tehas.com for a selection.
Ron,
"Basically a length of brake tubing is run from each side inside the cockpit bulkhead under the panel to the firewall."
What type/size brake tubing did you use? Where did you purchase it?
I did this on my RV4 over 25 years ago, but I can't find the tubing I used around here any more. The tubing was stainless with what looks to be a Teflon type inner coating that the hinge pin fits perfectly through...
Thanks
