I have an RV-6A that I am replacing the original cowl on. I have an expoy cowl and am debating on the attachment means. I have the hinge pins which are a simple engineering solution, but I find them a pain for maintenance and cleanliness standpoint. I am planning on going with the Skybolt fasteners and would like to hear about maintenance problems that you folks already flying with them have. Looking for real life data points on any problems. I am already aware of the need to reinforce the cowl to prevent pillowing. Cowl wear issues? Fastener failures? Ease of cowl installation and removal?
With regards to installation, any real issues with this as a retrofit for the hinges?
Thanks in advance for any pointers.
