I just did this by making some tabs from aluminum angle- they are about ½
wide and made from 1-1/2 angle, I put a little lead-in bend on the front
side, then attached them around the perimeter of the firewall using
temporary tongue depressor spacers to form the slot for the cowling- worked
well - there are probably 20 for each cowl half.

I plan to eliminate the screws on the forward edges of my cowls by making a
slot for the edges to slide in. I believe Scott D has done this.

I am preparing to go 100% cam locks: upper/lower cowls, doghouse, wheelpants
and possibly battery cover. As was mentioned depth can be problematic, OTW I
can't see any downsides.

I have camlocs on the upper and lower wing attach points as well as where
the 2 cowlings attach together aft of the wing. Works great.

Has anyone ever tried dzus or camloc fasteners for the upper and lower
cowling?
Just wondering if there's a compromise between the panhead screws and the
totally invisible piano hinge method.
