Dear Builder Buddys, I have the cowls mounted around my beautiful 0-360 Lycoming engine of which I'm very proud and I'm cutting in the oil door. I am using Eric's hidden hinge product which is a fine piece of workmanship and Hartwell latches. I need to know what thickness of metal has been successfully substituted for the fiber glass door that came with the kit. The glass door is about 60 thousands so I made a door out of 63. Too thick and hard to curve and warp. Not pretty. What thickness has been used before? Thanks, Bill of Georgia

Looks great! Where'd you say you got the hinge? Post some more pictures of you're installation. I'd like to see some close ups of the hinge what what not.
