Cracking on rear engine cowling.....

[edasmus]

Ernie, one more question for you.

It is number 35 in the drawing (the lower ring, part number 1552127-2) that keeps cracking. The entire assembly has other patches on it that seem to be OK but it is the lower ring that keeps failing. Anyway, reference the carbon fiber option, is it the ring that is actually made of carbon fiber? How does it get attached to the rest of the assembly? Is it riveted? Can carbon fiber be riveted to aluminum? I have sent an email to Owen asking if he had the entire assembly but I have not heard back yet but this sounds like a potential option to me.

Thanks,

Ed
