Cowl Lacing Idea:

[font size="1" color="#FF0000"]LAST EDITED ON 31-Jan-01 AT 06:18 PM (EST)[/font][p]Has anybody tried to put new cowl lacing on with the silly little tacks that you are suppose to use?I did and I knew there had to be a better way.I went to the hardware store and got #4 x 5/8 stainless sheet metal screws.This is a lot easier and I think is a much neater job.Just thought I would pass this along.

Not me Rusty. I used gorilla snot (weather strip adhesive)
Hitting all them little holes with a tack wasn't my idea of fun.
