Can someone tell me the correct length of the 1940 cowl lacing or where it is supposed to terminate on the side of the cowl? I have two sets of repro cowl lacing and they both came with the flathead countersunk screws. Since they are not the correct duplicate of original anyway would it work to use weatherstrip cement to glue the lacing to the cowl? Seems to me it would be easier, but I don't know if it would hold up to the heat and vibration. Thanks.
