Yes, Hartmut, it is SK-23, Cowl Support Kit; "Scalp Saver Kit." It is
fairly simple to install.

Syd.
Thank you for clearing this up.
I almost had a long explanation letter ready.
Syd, if this is a kit from Univair, would you have the part number
available?
Thanks,
Hartmut

Subject: Re: [ercoupe-tech] Making it simplier
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.
