I've seen a couple planes where it appears that the hinge pins have been welded (?) to some sort of threaded fastener at the front of the cowl. Can anyone describe what they did? Has anyone run these side cowl pins from inside the cockpit (some of the RV guys do this)? o On my 235 kit, the inside of the cowl appears to be coated with some sort of slightly tacky coating. I've got some layups to do inside the cowl and need to remove this. I've tried a number of solvents and found that acetone does a reasonable job of removing this coating with sanding doing the rest (by gumming up the sandpaper). For others with 235's: - what is this coating for? - is there something better than acetone to remove it? Thanks!
