Guys .
I just checked the kit on Univairs site. SK-23 ERCOUPE COWL SUPPORT KIT $139.82 Hundred forty Dollars almost! Add 10 bucks shipping and $50 for your mechanic, we are facing a $200 installation . That is a lot of money for the device. I don't see a reason why these two pieces of aluminum should be THAT expensive. For me this is another case where Univair is pricing itself out of business again.

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.

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. -- Darrell Jenkins N94857, 1948 415E _________________________________________________________________ Windows Live: Friends get your Flickr, Yelp, and Digg updates when they e-mail you. http://www.microsoft.com/middleeast/windows/windowslive/see-it-in-action/social-network-basics.aspx?ocid=PID23461::T:WLMTAGL:ON:WL:en-xm:SI_SB_3:092010
