The device that Hartmut posted is the device on my Ercoupe. It is the
Scalp Saver kit from Univair. Some people have drilled a small hole
in the end of the "spike" and after inserting it through the hole in
the cowl bracket, they insert a cotter pin through the small hole to
keep the cowl from blowing higher.

The problem I have with every hold-open solution I have seen is that
in windy conditions, you must have something to keep the cowling
from moving up OR down. If it is just resting on a prop open deivce,
the wind catches it and bends it back over the top of the upper
cowling. The device posted by Hartmut would take care of that if
there was a slot on the end of the leg to positively engage the slot
in the cowl bracket and prevent movement in either direction, I think.
