I think the best solution is not using the stock cowl mounts. Redesign them to the radial style and save yourself a bunch of sanity.
Hi Chris:

Agreed, a redesign of the cowl mount may be the best solution.
I will be going with the RTC version of the model.
The cowl mods may be a little easier depending on what is involved.

This way I don't have to disturb the covered ARF version.

Best regards
