As of now I propose to use 1/8" rivets with countersunk heads at a 5" pitch around the cowl edges. I use the 1/8" rivets to take advantage of the slightly larger heads than the 3/32". Those of you who have successfully completed the installation of the hinges, do you have any words of wisdom for me?
