Skip,
THANK YOU!
I love to hear "I put my butt behind my work" advise. 38 hrs on your PERSONAL plane and knowing of a FAST IV-P with 600 hours
on it really supports your statement.

I will follow your method and maybe put a rivet on each end as others have suggested to avoid the peel factor.

Happy Holidays!

I only have about 38 hours on my plane with the bonded cowl hinges, but the shop where I built my plane does this on all of the Lancairs they do.  I know of a IV-P with 600 hours on it that's done the same way mine is and has had no problems.
