Thks Graham,
I reckon that sounds like a good idea. I have found a removeable pin MS20001-5
hinge supplier, using a composite hinge and removable pin. I just think that the
curvature of the cowl may prohibit "easy" removal, therefore defeating the
purpose. I can't figure something like camlocks to undo the cowls, followed by
a similar mech to the bonnet to open conventionally.
