Will,
Hmm, I looked and looked and somehow couldn't find the entry, much less the
picture. Oh well, the fix seems tenable, and plenty of solutions along this
idea path could be cooked up.
thanks much,
Greg

Some one I forget whom .... maybe graham or perhaps david had a system
whereby the top of the top cowl had no holes at all. The top cowling had
fixed pins on the inside of the upper cowling which engage with receivers on
the firewall about one inch below the cowling lower surface. This was done
precisely to avoid water ingress to the panel area. So you can imagine
fitting the upper cowling by sliding it backwards to engage the male pins
with the female receptacle on the firewall.
The rest of the cowling (the join with the lower cowling) was fastened with
camlocs if Im not wrong.
its hard to describe and Im damned if I can find the picture but this was a
discussion on the list around 2014. I thought it was rather an elegant
solution which I didnt follow because I want to get flying but I might well
retrofit
