Skybolt introduces yet another innovation to make installing fastenerseasier and more efficient -

SK-RVC114 (14 sets) and SK-RVC119 (19 sets) Hole Finders.

As we begin to see more and more conversions from hinge to fasteners, includingbuilders removing previously installed hinge and installing the Skyboltfastening system, hole finding becomes a challenge. Typically, on the initialbuild, we have relied on the cowling skins being transparent (to some extent)in order to drill the initial pilot holes at center. With the new push toretrofit existing aircraft, we can no longer rely on transparency because ofpaint. By modifying our current Cleko inserts to be used with the SkyboltSK-RVFS1 Interlocking Flanges to accept a magnet, we can locate the center holequite accurately in all cowling skins with a small dowel pin. Our kits includea limited number of the inserts to satisfy the Cleko requirement. (This is theequivalent of a flange without the hole as stated in a previous post). Thecomplete sets adding a magnet and dowel pin however, answer the issues withpainted (opaque) cowling retrofits.

Per our installation instructions where we describe the SK-RVC1 Inserts as amethod to Cleko the cowling to the flanges before the receptacles areinstalled, obviously for this to work, you have to drill a 1/8 inch hole in thecowling. Using the inserts in the same manner, tape the inserts with the magnetinstalled into the back of each flange. Set the upper or lower cowling intoposition with a ratchet strap, then drop the dowel pin in the general vicinityof each flange center hole. Drop it a few times to insure the pin centers atthe exact same spot. Drill a 1/8 inch pilot hole. Insert a Cleko (the magnetwill push away from the insert) and proceed to the next location.

SK-RVC119 Sets (19) are $45.41 (Fasteners not included) for RV6 thru 10
