I never liked how a pin works so I used 4 quarter turn camloc fasteners on each side.

The RV people sell a pin with a welded "tab" on one end $6 to 8 each at
VANS. I added a nut plate into the cowl attach points and use a screw to
hold it in place, easy, sanitary, effective. Or just bend a "U" on the end
then the hut plate and screw.

Finding away to secure the hine pin is important. im my 12 years in aircraft
maintenance i have seen hine pins that were nearly impossibly to install
vibrate out.
the slickest instlalation i have seen is making the pin slighly shorter then
the hinge and drilling the hing and placing a small cotter pin or lockwire
through the hole.
I finally got back to working on my Rebel today its been too long.

I thought I had read to use a smaller wire somewhere. I guess it was
one
of
your replies to another builder. I happen to have some .062 steel rod
(soft)
and it worked a lot better. Do you recommend a SS alloy type that is more
rigid then the other SS types ?
C.W. Boekhorst
I am sure the silicone works better but I have not painted my Rebel
and would not like to take the risk at this time.
Mtutt
I have been using the drill up to now but I have heard that eventually
the hinge rod may get loose and I will have to bend a hook on the end
to keep the rod from vibrating forward in too the prop.
Thanks Guys for all the good replies.

Charlie... I've never got the originals back in since the paint job
in 1995 !!
I've had the same 8 pins in since. Go to a welding supply house and
get a dozen 0.063 stainless TIG filler rods.

Hello All
In reference to the Rebels "4 door metal cowl". Is there anything
short of normal wear and tear that will reduce the force and
difficulty required to
thread the hinge pins in and out to open/close the cowl doors. I thought
I
read that using a smaller dia. hinge pin would help?
