REFLECTOR:Cowl Fasteners

[SANCHEZ, MERRI J., PHD (JSC-OC) (NASA)]

I'm still building, but plan on using flush mounted 1/4 turn camlocs.  I use
them on the LongEZ I fly and have never had any problems with them.  I've
also modified how the cowl fits to the fuselage by laying up a "u" on the
fuselage side that the cowl slides into to be more secure.

Can I surmise from the deafening silence in regards to my question about 
captive fasteners used to hole on our rear cowls that nobody has figured 
out a way to use them?

Everybody using regular screws and washers?

I found some fully retractable 1/4 turn fasteners but the head sticks 
way up, almost 1/2 an inch.
