Fabricated Upper Cowl Firewall Hinge Pin Retainer

I spent a little more time tonight trying to diagnose the servo issue without any luck.  I put that aside and decided to fabricate a clip to keep the upper cowl to firewall hinge pins from sliding out.  It’s just a simple piece of 1/16″ angle with one leg cut down and some notches filed in each end.

The hinge pins need a few bends to make them run parallel to the firewall and to provide a handle to use to pop these pins in and out of the retaining clip.
