They are working out fine for me. I think the trick is to, do not lock the fastener in to the top surface. Let the male fastener be removable. When I remove the cowling I collect all male parts and put them in a plastic bag or my pocket. I know this is not quite the standard way of using the parts but because the way the curved surfaces fit together and the protruding male part creates a problem unless you remove it prior to mating the surfaces. Also, the fasteners are made for a specific material thickness, depending on the dash number and the cowling edges have a lot of variation in thickness so it was necessary to do a lot of individual thickness adjustments by adding internal BID plys where required. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> LML website: http://www.olsusa.com/Users/Mkaye/maillist.html LML Builders' Bookstore: http://www.buildersbooks.com/lancair Please send your photos and drawings to marvkaye@olsusa.com. >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
