CarbingeÔ  

1. Install using appropriate adhesive and clecos or other clamps as desired. We recommend Hysol 9339 or other industrial adhesive with similar peel strengths over epoxy.  Be sure to avoid getting adhesive in the hinge joint itself. Careful use of acetone can be used to clean up excess.
2. You should finish with one strong rivet or nut and bolt fastener at either end of the hinge to minimize risk of peel starting at an end.
3. The pin should have enough clearance that it will go to place easily with hand pressure. DO NOT use a drill to drive in the pin. If the friction generated is sufficient, the hinge and/or its bearing can be damaged. You should taper the end of the pin to a bull nose so it will track the curves in the cowling.
4. If you are unable to fit the pin due to excessive friction, please email or call.  We have undersized pins we can exchange with you in the rare instance the pin is too tight.
5. If you have problems or questions feel free to call or e-mail for help.

	Note the lack of screws or other detractors anywhere to spoil the beautiful curves and paint.
	There is one small hole where the pin goes through the Carbinge Keeper across the back of the top cowl.
	This application results in a virtually perfect junction at the rear of the cowl.
