As I mentioned before, the fiberglass cowl is going to be held onto the plane with aluminum piano hinges. Tonight, I riveted these in place.
I had some poor planning with the camera tonight. The good chuck of time I’m off camera, I’m actually at the bench dealing with some hinge pin material that got stuck in the hinge. It must have been bent, because once it went in, it didn’t want to come out.
In the end, I removed the pin, but the pin itself was wrecked in the process. However, that’s OK, as the pins are going to be replaced with harder steel pins!
I also riveted together the oil cooler mount. This will be mounted on the firewall soon.
