After removing the nose cowl from the airplane we cut the plate out to the proper shape to cover the hole in the nose cowl. We then drilled holes in the four corners of the plate for #6 machine screws, and located the nut plates in the nose cowl from the holes in the plate. We installed the nut plates and put a layer of duct tape on the back of the cover plate to keep it from scratching the nose cowl, and re-installed the nose cowl on the airplane. My Coupe is polished aluminum, so I polish the plate also. You could paint yours to match your paint job. This took about 1 hour altogether, so I guess you could say it costs $25.00. I remove it when the outside air temp. is above 40 degrees or if my oil temp. is above 185 degrees. Syd
