Or you can have your son get out the cloth & resin and make an engine cooling plenum. Then little stress on the cowl fasteners.

This one did not take very long to make.

Looks great Rick.

Unfortunately wont help my installation. My coolant radiate is located at the bottom of the firewall. It depends on getting a good air flow from within the cowling. As totally experimental & yet to fly, I am assuming that I must try to minimise air leaking out of the cowling. (would post photo's but have had no luck in that area.)
