Here all the dowel pins and blind nuts have been installed and the ring is being held with 4-40 socket head cap screws. Once the ring is epoxied to the cowling, a nice long, "ball end" hex key will make attaching the cowl to the airframe a snap. The bottom of the ring will be trimmed away after it's bonded in place since the cowling has a built in "cowl flap" molded in the open position.
