Seems to me one could design a similar "latch" that would rivet into
the "rib" that is perpendicular to the
cowling and thus not have to disrupt the paint on the cowling. ??

One perfect way to hold the cowls open is the way ERCO developed it
for its 415-E models.
Syd implemented it on his machine. Have a look.

Subject: Re: [ercoupe-tech] Fwd: making it simpler
I have in the past reluctantly used a plastic coated clamp on the
rear end to hold the cowl open - it's barely ok if there is no wind
(the clamp holds the tail of the hinged part to the stationary
piece up near centerline) - crappy solution, but beat getting my
FLYING HAT (or hair, such as it is) greezy
