Keith,
As for the cowl plugs, Aircraft Spruce sells a do-it-yourself kit that  
you cut to your openings.  I used one of their kits and it works fine.  
  Hint: make it a little snugger than you think you should.  My plugs  
seem to be much looser when the engine compartment is hot than when it  
is cold.  Not sure why.
