I'm about ready to take my CFII checkride with a C172, and the owner has made a repair that I don't think is airworthy... The cowling has a crack behind the prop, and he's used what looks like hardware-store hardware (bolt, fender washers, lock nut) to hold the crack together.
I've mentioned it to him, but I'm concerned if I take this plane on the checkride (the only one readily available unless I go to another flight school), I may get a discontinuance or maybe even a disapproval.
What is the proper repair for this, besides replacing the entire cowling?
