Jim=0Awhy don't you put release wax on the other hinge half and the pin, as
semble the hinge, then flox it on? That way you shouldn't need any filing.
=0AIn fact I might suiggest clecoing both halves first, then flox them on i
n turn.=0AWhen you flox the halves on I would use the screw type Skin Pins
and not screw them up too tight. Don't rivet until the flox has cured or th
e hinge will be distorted.=0AGraham=0Adigging around in dilute memories=0A

ing=0A=0A=0ARick-=0A =0AI just started mine today, same setup. I set up on
e half of the hinges on the lower cowling. I first drilled 1/8 every 2 inc
hes in the hinge material the cowl about 1/8 (thickness of a tongue depress
or) from the edge of the from the edge. I clekoed the lower half of the hi
nge in and tomorrow will put some flox on the cowling and use 1/8 pop rivet
s to attach the lower half of the hinge. After it sets, I will file it a l
ittle to permit the upper half to go into it. =0A =0AIf questions, call on

message posted by: "AirEupora" <AirEupora@sbcglobal.net>=0A=0AI have the Ca
nadian cowling for the Jabiru engine and was wanting to use Piano hinge for
the side. I put the two pieces together and cleoed the hinge in place the
n glassed it in. After all four pieces dried I had a hell of a time to get
the two cowl to come together. =0A=0AWhat did I do wrong. I'm thinking t
hat I'm going to have cut the two hinges in the top cowl out and re-applied
glass to them once I have the cowl back in place. =0A=0ARick Stockton=0AA
