cowl vent
I am in the finishing of the 51 and I don't have a clue how the cowl vent attaches and I don't have the hinges or hardware. I have the brace and handle to open and close it but nothing else. It was apart when I got it and I have looked online and only found the bolts but no pics or hinges that I can see. HOPEFULLY someone can help with pics or and website to see how it all works.

Re: cowl vent
I just went out and shot this photo of the hinges, I don't have my cowl vent available for a photo but it bolts right to these hinges, it's that simple.

Re: cowl vent
  These diagrams show the poarts and how they go together. I'll try to remember to get a photo of one I have in the morning.

Re: cowl vent
Has anyone found the bolts that work? Not sure what kind attachments are out the for the rectangular slots that pivot the cowl.

Re: cowl vent
Just hardware store stuff is all I used. A nylock on the pivot bolt, couple drops of oil in the pivot. It has been working fine

Re: cowl vent
Are these actual hinges. Meaning they move or are stationary? Mine are not moving/frozen in a “L”.

Re: cowl vent
Yes, that is where they pivot. Looks like you have rivets at the pivot, mine must have been drilled out at some point. I don't remember doing that, but probably did.

Re: cowl vent
If I remember and it isn't too wet and miserable in the morning I'll go out and spray some PB blaster on the ones on the 49 cab I have and take at least one out and get you some good photos.
