Next the KAI's have you install and bend the side hinge pin so that the retainer tab sits flush against the bottom cowl.
This requires the pin to be bent on two planes.
Left done.
Right done.
Next the top cowl must be notched to allow the pin to come out without hitting the cowl and scratching the paint. This requires a bigger notch than one might thing. Van's has always used this crude method and it looks crappy but it works. I will most likely 3D print a badge that will cover this notch and the tab similar to some of the aluminum ones that are commercially available but they require a ton of mods to the top cowl. Mine will just sit on top of the fiberglass and be held in place by the screw that secures the pin.
