The hinge is being held in place with clecos while the epoxy cures.
As with the cowling, Jerry has silver soldered a threaded keeper onto the hinge pin. Prior to the installation, he greased the hinge pin and its keeper. The glob on the side creates the bushing for the threaded hinge pin keeper. (Reference picture 235. Silver-soldered hinge pins with keepers are also available from Leading Edge Composites.) |
