Has anyone used Sky Bolts for their cowl?

Oh yes indeed - after I gave up on the Southco fasteners. Worth the money.

I came late to the skybolt party. People on the forum tried to tell me. I think there is a good p/n list on the forum somewhere.

Hi Bob,

You might be able to glean some info from this thread. I like them. I ended up with the non counter-sunk version with phillip head and nylon washers between the fastener and the cowl.
