Default Re: Model A cowl band bolts too short

The likely reason the bolts won't protrude enough is either the reproduction cowl patch panel were incorrectly made/installed, -or the sub-rail extensions have been messed with. Since it kinda "is what it is", I would consider doing like we do when we restore an original. Tig weld a length of Grade 5 all-thread to the existing bolt to make the correct length you need.
