I'm not sure what kits are referred to.  Are these the Teflon sleeve inserts
to place in the hinge after the hinge has worn and deteriorated to the point
that the pin is sloppy?

If so, consider replacing the hinges with hinges that won't wear out, that
weigh less and that can be bonded to the cowling instead of riveted on.  See
web site below.
