Don’t the plans call for a tab and screw? I’ve seen planes flying with no retention, and they migrate forward.. I’ve even heard over time, they’ll migrate into the spinning propeller!!

I prefer dead simple, kinda' like ScottH.

My side cowl pins are removed aft of the firewall, the through at 1/4” AN bulkhead fitting. I use 1/4” aluminum tube between the firewall and the next aft bulkhead that has this AN fitting.. The pins are caputured by putting a closed end 1/4” tube on the aft side of this fitting.

I made a loop on the end of the pin (heated it red hot and curled it) and have a recessed spot it drops into with a nutplate. Screw and washer holds it. Not fancy, but simple.

I have lost the tab that secures the pin. Is there a part # that is just the tab?
