I have the cowling clecoed to my 360 (I love the porcupine look) and have a question.

The side fasteners (top of cowl to bottom of cowl) are supposed to be 5 inches apart.  It would seem as though more than 5 inches are required to provide adequate clearance between the front cylinder and the back side of the cowl fasteners immediately adjacent thereto.  And yet, if you make the spacing 6 or 7 inches around the front cylinder (which would probably be adequate structurally), and drop back to 5 inch spacing elsewhere, it would look unsightly.

Can't have that, ya know...

What have y'all done for cowling fasteners between the top and bottom cowls in the vicinity of the front cylinder?

Thanks.
