Now that the upper cowl hinge pin retaining clip is finished, I can go ahead and rivet the hinge to the cowl. I mixed up some epoxy and flox and riveted the hinge on. It ends up taking way more time to clean up all the excess epoxy after doing this than the actual riveting. Any excess epoxy in between the eyelets will prevent the two hinge halves from nesting together, so it’s important to get it all out before the epoxy cures or I’ll have to grind it out later.
