Barry,
My concern would be 'why is there so much= pressure in that area'? My oil filler door is behind the high pressu= re area.. or as I understand it, should be. Earl

Gang,

D= uring a recent cross country flight, the latch to the oil filler  = ;
door on the top of the cowl departed the aircraft.  Upon ins= pection
my door latch was installed with two rivets...to replicate the
original installation would mean a bunch of w= ork to refinish and
repaint the door.  We opted to= fabricate a new latch and glue it
on....worked great until = I hit 250 KIAS today and the glue gave up -
lots of pressure= on that door.

I'm sure for normal ops the glue would be just fine, = but the pressure
created by the higher airspeeds is too much= .  Does anyone have any
suggestions on a "non-inva= sive" fix.   We can take the door off and
re-rivet= it...but that failed after 270 hours of flight and I'd like  to find a better solution.  And, NO Greyhawk, I won't slow down.= ... ;)

Thanks!

Barry
