I installed the Skybolt cam locks on my 14 and love em. Makes removing the upper cowl easy. PM me for discussion on locations.AltHough I already installed the hinge I’m considering converting to the cam locks for the upper cowl firewall attachment. Can anyone help me locate the cam locks and the brackets? Is it worth the effort?
Bottom line; If I had to do it again, I'd probably use piano hinges on the horizontal split. I'd still use skybolts on the upper cowl at the firewall, just because I don't want to have to fish around through the oil door trying to get hinge pins in, but I'm going to need to beef up that area of the fiberglass before paint or live with it pillowing up in flight.
