cowl side hinges prosealed
I finished up machine countersinking the rivet holes along the sides of the cowl halves at the hinges. I drilled some additional gripping holes in between all of the rivet holes in the hinges and roughed up the surface with some 60 grit paper. I used proseal (my favorite bonding agent) to secure the hinges to the cowl. I’m letting that cure for a few days. Then I’ll go back and rivet the hinges. The idea here with gluing and then riveting is that the proseal bond will dampen some of the vibrations that would eventually loosen some of the rivets.
I also received the 30″ stainless steel primer line that I ordered from Mattituck. I’m going to use this line to go from the tee on the back of the engine to the primer valve down my the gascolator.
