Cowl Mount Modification for Cessna 175A
Is it possible and practical to eliminate the standard cowl mount
brackets and attach the cowl to the fuselage with Cam Lock fasteners? I would like to consider the CAM LOCK 4000 series (stainless with phillips head) Is there an STC for this modification for a C-175A?

Skybolt Fasteners http://www.skybolt.com/ has kits for many but I can't see the 175 there. Might be worth calling them. Does your airplane have the Southco quarter-turn fasteners now? If so, stick with them. The Skybolts aren't much better. Dan
