I go the cowl wrapped around the engine and am now joining the upper and lower sam james cowl. I offset the hinges along the seam as Wil suggests so that the bottom hinge is 1/4" above the seam line. Works great so far. I would like to exit the hinge pin through the firewall rather than coming our the front. I aligned the pin and it hit the firewall just at the very edge along the side. If I continue, it goes through the NACA air intake for fresh air. Has anyone terminated the hinge pin in the duct? Thought I saw something previously, but can't find any reference. Comments or pictures would be appreciated.
