I used Camloc 1/4 turn fasteners on my top and bottom cowling.  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.
