Default RE: Reducing Cowl vibration

The best way is like MinnFlyer pictured! I have mounted nacels and cowels that way for years and not had one shatter out from vibration. Just make the hole large enough to "Squeeze" the fuel tubing in and that way it holds your screws in when you remove the cowl. Also check for prop balance. That can cause MAJOR shakes that you dont want!!
